Stroup Knives GP2 Black SKGP2BLK

The Stroup Knives GP2 Black is a purpose-driven fixed blade built to perform in the harshest environments. Designed by Justin Melnick—former police officer and combat photographer—this knife reflects real-world experience and the kind of no-fail performance demanded by professionals in the field. Whether you're in a tactical role, deep in the backcountry, or simply need a dependable tool for everyday carry, the GP2 delivers with confidence.

At the core is a 3.75" drop point blade forged from 1095 high carbon steel, one of the most trusted steels for fixed blades thanks to its strength, edge retention, and easy field maintenance. The natural forged finish gives the blade a raw, rugged character while reducing shine and showing off the steel’s natural grain. The drop point profile offers a well-balanced cutting edge with excellent control, making it versatile for slicing, skinning, or general utility tasks.

This full tang design spans the entire 7.5" length of the knife, providing serious strength and durability under hard use. The handle features textured black G-10 scales that are built to stay grippy in any condition—wet, dry, dirty, or gloved. Black coated stainless steel hardware locks everything down tight, and a lanyard hole adds another layer of carry or retention flexibility.

Despite its durable build, the GP2 weighs just 4.1 ounces, making it easy to carry without sacrificing performance. A custom-molded Kydex sheath with an adjustable belt clip comes standard, offering secure retention and multiple carry positions. Whether you're wearing it on a plate carrier, belt, or pack, the GP2 is quick to access and ready to work.

Proudly made in the USA, the Stroup Knives GP2 Black is a compact, lightweight fixed blade that doesn't compromise on toughness or function. Every detail—from the grip texture to the forged steel finish—is built with intent, reflecting a commitment to American craftsmanship and mission-ready performance. Order it today from SMKW!
