The Stroup Knives TU2 Tan is a precision-designed fixed blade that combines tactical performance with practical outdoor functionality. Crafted by renowned designer Chris Stroup in the USA, this knife delivers dependable performance in a compact, versatile package, making it ideal for camp, hike, and tactical use. Every element of the TU2 has been thoughtfully engineered to provide balance, control, and durability in the field, reflecting Stroup Knives’ commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and real-world functionality.
With an overall length of 8.75 inches and a 4.5-inch clip point blade, the TU2 offers a perfect balance of reach and maneuverability. The clip point design ensures precise cutting, controlled puncturing, and excellent versatility for a wide range of tasks. The plain edge keeps maintenance simple while providing smooth, consistent performance for everything from detail work to heavier cutting chores. A blade thickness designed for strength and rigidity gives the knife a solid, confident feel without adding unnecessary bulk, making it comfortable to carry and easy to handle.
Constructed from 1095 carbon steel, the blade features a black acid wash finish that enhances both aesthetics and tactical utility. This finish reduces glare, resists corrosion, and gives the knife a sleek, professional appearance suitable for demanding environments. The high-carbon steel offers toughness, edge retention, and straightforward sharpening, ensuring the TU2 remains a reliable tool wherever it’s needed.
The tan G-10 handle is both ergonomic and durable, providing a secure grip under a variety of conditions. Textured surfaces enhance traction, even when hands are wet or gloved, while the ambidextrous design allows comfortable use by both right- and left-handed users. Full tang construction reinforces the knife’s strength and balance, ensuring that every motion feels controlled and precise. The compact weight of 5.4 ounces makes the TU2 easy to carry all day, yet substantial enough to provide confidence in handling.
The included Kydex sheath features a belt clip, providing secure, convenient carry and easy access. Whether mounted on a belt or rig, the sheath keeps the knife firmly in place while allowing quick deployment when it’s needed most. Its durable construction ensures the TU2 remains protected and ready for action, whether you’re navigating the outdoors or engaging in tactical scenarios.
