TU1 – Fixed Blade Knife – 4.5" Clip Point – Acid Etched Black G10
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS, LOCAL LAWS, AND USE LIMITATIONS BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Stroup Knives TU1 is a full-size fixed blade built for hard-use outdoor work, field tasks, camp chores, and general utility cutting where a smaller knife may not give enough reach or leverage. Stroup Knives makes this model in the USA with a 4.5-inch clip point blade, 1095 high carbon steel, an acid-etched black finish, textured G10 handle scales, and an included Kydex sheath.
This is a serious field and utility knife with enough blade and handle to do real work without turning into an oversized chunk of steel pretending to be useful. The TU1 gives you a larger-format fixed blade for outdoor gear setups, camp kits, and demanding cutting tasks where compact blades can feel underbuilt.
What It Does
The TU1 is built for heavier outdoor utility tasks where reach, control, and a stable grip matter. The clip point profile keeps the tip useful for controlled detail work, while the 1095 high carbon steel construction favors toughness, straightforward sharpening, and real-world field maintenance.
Why It’s Worth It
This knife earns its keep by balancing size, grip, and toughness without becoming a sharpened pry bar with an ego problem. The acid-etched black finish gives it a clean, low-glare look, the G10 scales provide a solid handle surface, and the included Kydex sheath makes it ready for lawful outdoor, utility, collection, and general cutting-tool use right out of the box.

Care Notes
1095 high carbon steel is tough and easy to sharpen, but it is not stainless. Keep the blade clean, dry it after use, and apply light oil as needed. Carbon steel is strong, but it still expects basic respect. Fair deal.
