Don't let the size fool you-the Stroup Knives Mini Mod 1 is a compact powerhouse built for field performance, everyday utility, and tactical reliability. Designed by Chris Stroup and handcrafted in the USA, this fixed blade is made from tough 1095 high carbon steel, giving it excellent edge retention and resilience in rough environments. The acid wash finish not only looks rugged but helps reduce glare and hide wear from hard use.
