Stroup Knives TU1 Features The Stroup Knives TU1 carries a 4.5 inch drop point blade made from 1095 high carbon steel a tool steel that holds an edge very well and sharpens easily back up in the field. At a Rockwell hardness of 58 to 59 the blade balances toughness with edge retention for hard use tasks. The rock tumbled acid etched finish gives the blade a rough worn look while also helping to reduce glare in tactical settings. A 0.19 inch blade thickness and full tang construction run the steel the entire length of the handle giving the TU1 exceptional strength for prying and heavy cutting work. The handle is shaped from G-10 in OD Green giving a textured comfortable grip that holds up to sweat rain and rough handling without becoming slick. At 9.25 inches overall the TU1 is sized to mount directly to a plate carrier or kit for quick access when needed. Every TU1 ships with a custom formed Kydex sheath shaped specifically to its knife for maximum retention during movement. A Tek-Lok belt clip on the sheath can be mounted left handed right handed vertically or horizontally giving the wearer full control over how the knife rides. Sourced and made entirely in the USA the Stroup Knives TU1 is built for operators and outdoorsmen who demand a rugged dependable fixed blade.
