Boker/Wenger micro tracker.. $80 steal or a little steel for $80 ?

The November knife of the month was the Dave Wenger designed Micro tracker made by Boker knives.
I was really excited to get my hands on this sleek tracker and see how it performed. 2nd day exposed a flaw in the construction that has apparently been an issue with a few other models in this Wenger collaboration. The powers that be have addressed this issue and we will see where it goes between now and the end of the month.
The fix I used was pretty easy and very effective. Lots more to come from this dude. #tracker #wenger #boker

    Boker's website already shows their fix for the mini Tracker . The new pics show solid pins for the front two. The pilot still shows the tubes. Brass can be weird to work, doesn't surprise me that it was hard to do at scale. Hate that for Dave though,those hollow pins and and cool liners are a big part of his style.

    I'm very happy to hear that the issue is being handled so quickly by Böker! If you don't mind, I'd love to know what tasks you used the thinned out bevel for instead of leaving it factory beveled. And if I could pick your brain, I've got a large survival type knife that I'd like to pair with something smaller. It's 8inches of blade with a classic drop point. Would you recommend the tracker as a pairing or something like a typical Mora?

    I'll get a video up on the blade thinning. But I run a small neck knife with a belt knife most times.

    You could of mixed baking soda with the super glue it makes a extremely hard bond with most material

    Good on Boker for working the issue. That being said, I would have cut the tubes off and put on new scales, but thats just me. If you didn't have the issues, would you recommend that blade?

    Ya the blade was great, I plan on putting natty canvas on mine but I didnt want to lose several days of testing. That glue soaked jute us no joke
