SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Stroup Knives Bravo 5 Black is built for real-world function, hard use, and unwavering dependability. Designed by former police officer and combat photographer Justin Melnick, this fixed blade reflects a deep understanding of what professionals need in the field—no-nonsense performance, reliable grip, and the toughness to back it all up. Whether you're deep in the woods, deployed overseas, or tackling daily work in unforgiving conditions, the Bravo 5 delivers.
At the core of the Bravo 5 is a 3.75" drop point blade forged from 1095 high carbon steel, a proven choice for strength, edge retention, and durability. The natural forged finish gives each blade a unique, battle-worn appearance while helping to reduce glare and wear. Its drop point profile offers a balanced edge with excellent control for slicing, piercing, and utility work. This is a blade that thrives in demanding environments and doesn’t quit when the job gets rough.
Full tang construction runs the length of the 7.5" knife, providing unmatched strength and confidence in hand. The handle is built from textured black G-10—grippy, weather-resistant, and tough as nails. Black-coated stainless steel hardware locks everything down securely, while the lanyard hole offers added options for carry or retention.
The Bravo 5 includes a custom-molded Kydex sheath with an adjustable belt clip, offering secure retention and multiple carry configurations. Whether you prefer scout, vertical, or horizontal carry, the sheath system adapts to your needs with minimal effort and maximum reliability.
Weighing just 4.1 ounces, the Bravo 5 offers full-sized cutting performance without dragging you down. It’s compact enough to carry discreetly, yet large enough to inspire confidence when it counts. Proudly made in the USA, every Bravo 5 is crafted with attention to detail and built to stand the test of time. Order it today from SMKW!
