SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Stroup Knives TU2 Black is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for those who rely on their gear to perform without compromise. Tough, versatile, and proudly made in the USA, the TU2 is ready for fieldwork, self-defense, or daily utility. Every detail of this knife reflects Stroup Knives’ no-nonsense approach to craftsmanship—where function leads and failure isn’t an option.
At the core of the TU2 is a 4.25" modified drop point blade forged from 1095 high carbon steel. Known for its toughness and edge retention, 1095 is a proven choice among professionals who demand a blade that can take abuse and keep cutting. The natural forged finish adds a rugged, individual look to each knife while helping reduce reflection and hide wear from hard use. The modified drop point design offers a reinforced tip and a strong belly, making it ideal for a wide range of cutting tasks—from fine detail to heavy push cuts.
The full tang construction runs the entire 8.75" length of the knife, providing exceptional strength and balance. Textured black G-10 handle scales are contoured for a secure, comfortable grip and are held in place with stainless steel hardware. The handle is designed for control and reliability, with enough traction to stay put in wet or gloved hands. A lanyard hole at the rear offers added versatility for carry or quick retrieval.
At 5.4 ounces, the TU2 carries comfortably without sacrificing substance. It comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath featuring an adjustable belt clip, allowing you to carry it vertically, scout style, or anywhere in between. The sheath locks the blade in place with a satisfying click and offers quick, reliable access when needed.
Made proudly in the USA, the Stroup Knives TU2 Black is built for people who push their gear to the limit. Whether you're deep in the woods, on patrol, or handling daily tasks, this knife stands ready to serve with strength, reliability, and American-made grit. Order it today from SMKW!
