I've grown interested in the Wilderness Survival Knife concept, but was dissatisfied with the TOPS Tracker I ordered on a few counts. After examining my alternatives, I decided to give a local knifemaker a try, and get involved in the design at each stage.
I chose
Mark Terrell of San Antonio. I explained the WSK concept and what I specifically wanted, and we've arrived at an agreement on the design. This is not a copy of the Tom Brown design; this is an implementation of the general concept, and it continues to evolve as we discuss things.
How many others have gone this route, and what did you emphasize on your version of the general concept?
Is there any interest in my discussing the design process as it proceeds?
