Stroup Tu2-B-G10 Tu2 4" Acid Etched Blk
The Stroup Tu2 is a purpose-built fixed blade knife designed for hunters, outdoor professionals, and anyone who needs a reliable tool that won't quit when the job gets serious. This 4-inch blade fixed blade knife is handcrafted in the USA from 1095 high carbon steel, a classic material choice that holds an edge well and responds to field sharpening without fuss. At 8.5 inches overall, the Tu2 strikes a practical balance—substantial enough to handle camp chores, field dressing, and heavy cutting tasks, yet sized to carry comfortably every day.
The acid-etched finish on the black blade is as functional as it is aesthetic: it reduces glare and helps the steel resist surface corrosion while you're working hard. The handle design prioritizes control and comfort for a wider hand, giving you the grip security you need when using a knife in cold weather, wet conditions, or high-stakes situations. The finger hook integrated into the handle isn't just tactical theater—it's a quick-access feature that makes one-handed sheath draws smooth and intuitive, critical when speed matters. You get a Kydex sheath built to last, plus an IWB nylon belt clip for carry options that fit your setup.
This is a knife for people who use their tools hard and expect them to perform. No fancy coatings, no trendy Damascus—just clean American craftsmanship in a fixed blade that works.
