Layered Tanto Tracker Knife with Grooved Micarta Handle and Notched Ricasso

Field work in wet or muddy conditions calls for a handle that won't slip, no matter how the day goes. This tanto tracker pairs a hand-forged layered blade with a grooved micarta handle built specifically to stay secure in the worst weather.

The blade is hand forged from layered steel into a tanto profile, with a sharpened swedge along the top edge for added versatility near the tip. A notched ricasso sits just above the handle, giving you a secure spot to choke up for detailed cuts.

The handle is built from grooved grey micarta, a resin-layered material that stays reliably grippy even when wet, held in place with steel pins along the full-tang construction. This makes the knife a dependable choice for genuinely hard field use.

The tanto profile and rugged handle give this knife real presence as an outdoor working tool. For a similarly rugged build with a different blade profile, our Tracker Cleaver Knife offers a heavier, chopping-focused alternative.

FAQs

What is a notched ricasso?

It is a small notch cut into the unsharpened section of the blade near the handle, giving you a secure spot to choke up for detailed cuts.

Why use micarta instead of wood or bone for the handle?

Micarta resists moisture and stays grippy even when wet, making it a practical choice for a knife built for hard field use.

What is a sharpened swedge?

It is a secondary bevel ground along the top edge of the blade near the tip, adding extra cutting versatility without a full second edge.

Is this knife full tang?

Yes, the steel runs the full length of the handle for added strength and balance.

How do I maintain the blade?

Hand wash and dry it after use, then apply a light coat of mineral oil to protect the layered steel from rust.
