Frequently Asked Questions
Both the Tracker and Wayfinder are the same profile (shape of the knife) - there are two distinct differences. 1. The Wayfinder has thicker bolt on handle scales for a more robust grip while the Tracker has ultra thin glued on handle scales to reduce weight and pack space. 2. The blade steel of the Wayfinder is thicker at .156" while the Tracker is .114". This makes the Tracker the lighter and slightly more "slicey" version of the Wayfinder. The Tracker is intended to be a hunt specific tool, especially for those trying to cut every possible ounce of weight while the Wayfinder is it's more general purpose brother.
First off - we always offer free sharpening, just give us a shout and we'll set you up. Otherwise, no matter what the steel is we say the same thing. Feel free to use any preferred sharpening system or method BUT be sure to stay clear of any mechanical device. Never use anything with belts, motors, or an on/off button. Stay clear of the cheapo "pull through" style sharpeners too. Your best bet is a good stone and a little practice. Sometimes all your knife needs is a strop, so be sure to try that first.
Quite litterally, in a shed. We're a tiny little business in Wyman, Maine and we make all of our knives by hand in a small shed. Your continued support will help us grow into a real shop before long and we're incredbily grateful for that. We use some CNC machining when it makes sense (that's in the basement of our house too), and we outsource as little as possible.
Customer Reviews
My tracker arrived right before an upland trip, so it went along. It worked great to process partridge and was light in my pocket. The blade is super sharp right out of the box. Hopefully I find a buck at the end of a track this season and get to use it for intended purpose. Nice work Walker Knife Co.
Awesome knife. Totally worth it!
Rock solid and SHARP!
