The Stroup TU2 Fixed Blade Knife in a red/black acid-etch finish (brand part no. TU2-R-B-G10) is a handmade, high-performance blade built in the USA for tactical use and survival scenarios. Stroup forges the TU2 from durable 1095 high-carbon steel and gives it a larger blade and handle than Stroup’s smaller models, delivering the strength and control demanding tasks require. The handle’s skinnier profile leaves more room for larger hands without sacrificing comfort or precision, and a finger hook on the handle allows quick, easy sheath removal for fast deployment. Among fixed blade knives, the TU2 favors users who want a rugged, made-in-USA blade for hard field use.
