I wouldn't go overboard on the "river rocks" thing. It actually isn't more difficult to sharpen the tracker, than any number of recurve blades - you need rods and you're set.
IIRC, the whole point of having two edges, was that the secondary could be a different grind (Beck's version is a hollow grind unless I'm mistaken) and TOPS kinda goofed and made them both saber grind. If it was straight, it would look like a ping pong paddle.
To be honest, the design isnt terrible, just terribly redundant, which is why I always said it is a perfect representation of the 1980s idea that you can make a knife that is a combination of several large tools (that isn't a leatherman) that replaces all of them if need be.
Thing is - a simple knife will replace a lot of tools already. Thankfuly, the current consensus on what makes an ideal bushcraft knife is an approximately 4 inch blade, 1/8 inch thick, scandi grind, with a simple, comfortable handle, kind of like pic related.
