Stroup Knives MK2 Features The Stroup Knives MK2 is handcrafted in the USA from 1095 high carbon steel a steel known for its toughness and ability to take and hold a sharp edge through hard use. The blade carries a black Cerakote finish that adds corrosion resistance on top of the carbon steel s inherent hardness helping the knife withstand exposure to moisture and rough handling in the field. At a hardness rating of 58 to 59 the blade holds its edge well while still allowing for field sharpening when needed. The plain edge gives the knife a clean consistent cutting surface suited to both fine tasks and heavier utility work. The black G10 handle provides a secure no-slip grip even in the wettest and grittiest conditions a critical feature for a knife designed for tactical and survival use. At 8 inches overall with a 4 inch blade and a 0.16 inch thickness the MK2 strikes a slim purpose-built profile designed to pierce and cut effectively without unnecessary bulk. The knife ships with a Kydex sheath and a Blade Tech Tech Lock belt clip giving the owner a complete carry solution right out of the box.
