thinking about buying one.
Response: 1/16 INCH & 1.59 MM

I agree with the oct. 25th entry from jake, as i have not put it thru its trial yet. I do like the knife and the design, but for $60.00 its not going to be a high standard like the tops tom brown tracker. I do think it may do ok for a camping deal. This is however my 3rd bushmaster product ive purchased and am satisfied with them and their performace, for the money invested.

I'm sure everybody knows you can't get a Tom Brown Tracker right now so I thought I'd try this one. Im actually very favorably impressed. I spent a couple days chopping and making curly strips and this performed very well! The entire knife is hollow ground and it chops very well. They appeared to get the heat treat right because I didn't get a single nick or fold with this knife. The notcher is rather scarey looking but it seems to work well. Just be careful with it. Handle is very pretty and we'll attached. Nice Job!

I have handmade many tracker knives. I also own an original Tom Brown Tracker knife. I just love the design. But for personal carry or real life combat, they are heavy. Because Tom Brown wanted to design a knife/hatchet. The Bushmaster version is very lightweight with excellent mobility. The handle is extremely comfortable for any hand. The saw back edge is incredibly functionally with very aggressive teeth. And the sheath is actually one of the most comfortable Tracker knife sheaths out there. But it does have one huge drawback. Yes, the blade is razor sharp out of the box. That is because the whole piece of steel the knife is made out of is only as thick as a machete blade. To be precise, the thicknesses are exactly the same. So going out and chopping wood, not a great idea in my opinion. It doesn't have the weight to be a good chopper. Don't get me wrong, it's a great slasher knife. Just wish it would have been made at least with a Kabar type blade thickness. I question the blades overall durability being so thin. Just wanted to make potential buyers fully aware of what they are possibly purchasing.
