TOPS T4 Mini Tracker Survival Knife with RMT Micarta Scales Overview and Unboxing #topsknives

The TOPS Mini Tracker is a fun and interesting little knife. It is a scaled-down version of the original Tom Brown survival knife - the T1 Tacker. TOPS just made it - slightly - more carryable, so my friends won’t have to bail me out every time I take this for a ride.

Just like many other TOPS knives, the T4 Mini has Black Linen Micarta handles. However, my Tracker comes with a twist - as it has Rocky Mountain sculpting. This RMT finish enhances this 3-finger grip, which is a much-needed tweak, on this blade-heavy knife.

1095 steel makes this Mini Tracker also mighty - so the edge will not chip, or roll easily. Due to its high carbon content, this steel’s only weakness is corrosion, but TOPS pretty much countered this issue with this Epoxy-based traction coating, that provides full protection from the elements.

Another huge perk of this knife is its high-quality Kydex sheath that also comes with a very practical belt hook. So unlike many other brands, this TOPS fixed blade is ready to carry right out of the box. The T4 Mini arrives in this well-designed plastic bag - alongside its university degree - and a feminist safety whistle, that annoys my dog like nothing else.
