Stroup Mk2-B-G10-Blkcer Mk2 4" Cerakote Blk

The Stroup Mk2 4" fixed blade knife is a purpose-built cutting tool handmade in the USA for hunters, outdoorsmen, and serious users who need a reliable blade they can trust in the field. This is not a generic department-store knife—it's the result of collaboration with active-duty operators who demanded a slim, efficient design that excels at both piercing cuts and general utility work. Built from 1095 high carbon steel, the Mk2 combines edge-holding capability with the kind of toughness that high-carbon blades are known for, making it equally at home on a hunting trip, in camp, or as part of your everyday carry gear.

The 4-inch blade keeps the knife nimble and easy to control while maintaining enough length for real work. Stroup finished this model in black Cerakote, a ceramic-based coating that resists corrosion and wear—practical for anyone who spends time in variable conditions. The G10 handle scales deliver a secure, textured grip that performs whether your hands are dry or wet, and the overall 8-inch length strikes a balance between reach and control without feeling oversized. This is a fixed blade with no folding mechanisms to fail, no locking springs to wear out—just steel and handle material designed to last.

The knife ships with a Kydex sheath and Blade-Tech belt clip, giving you solid carry options right out of the box. Whether you're dressing game, processing firewood, or keeping a capable blade at hand during camp work, the Stroup Mk2 is built to perform and backed by USA craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Stroup Mk2 best used for?

The Mk2 is a general-purpose fixed blade designed for hunting, field dressing, camp tasks, and outdoor work. Its 4-inch blade is long enough for real utility but compact enough to control precisely. Many users carry it as an everyday field knife or backup blade.

Will this knife hold up in wet conditions?

Yes. The G10 handle scales provide reliable grip when wet or gloved, and the 1095 high carbon steel is durable and forgiving in demanding use. The black Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance. That said, carbon steel does require occasional maintenance—wipe it dry and oil it lightly after wet use to keep it in top shape.

What comes with the knife?

The Mk2 ships with a Kydex sheath and Blade-Tech belt clip, so you have a proven carry setup ready to go.

Why 1095 high carbon steel?

1095 is a classic blade steel that's easy to sharpen, holds a sharp edge well, and is forgiving to work with in the field. It does require more maintenance than stainless steel, but many experienced users prefer its performance and simplicity.
