Stroup Knives GP2 Features The Stroup Knives GP2 is built around a 1095 high carbon steel blade a steel prized for taking and holding a sharp plain edge while remaining easy to resharpen in the field. At 3.5 long and 0.16 thick the blade is sized for controlled precise cutting tasks rather than heavy chopping making it a natural fit for game processing cordage work and general utility chores. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote coating on the blade adds a layer of corrosion resistance on top of the steel s own properties and keeps the finish from flashing in sunlight. A blade hardness rating of 58 to 59 on the Rockwell scale reflects a deliberate balance between edge retention and the toughness needed to avoid chipping under hard use. The OD Green G10 handle gives the GP2 a secure textured grip that holds up in wet muddy or gloved hands and its straight profile is built for comfort and control rather than tactical flourish. At a compact 7.75 overall length the knife carries easily on a belt or pack without adding bulk which is exactly the point behind its compact design. A fitted Kydex sheath ships with the knife giving it a durable low maintenance carry option that resists wear far better than leather. Built in the USA the Stroup Knives GP2 is a solid choice for hunters campers and everyday carriers who want a tough no nonsense fixed blade.
