Stroup Mini1 3" Acd Etch Odg W/Sht

Don't let the size fool you-the Stroup Knives Mini Mod 1 is a compact powerhouse built for field performance, everyday utility, and professional 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.

Knife Lover Notes

• Why it stands out: The combination of 1095 Carbon Steel blade steel and a Olive Drab Green G-10 handle gives this knife a clearly defined working purpose.
• What it feels like: A planted, purpose-driven fixed blade with the control expected from a full-tang outdoor tool.

Sharpening Advice from Apex Edgeworks

1095 Carbon Steel performs best with light, regular touch-ups. Follow the existing bevel, use even pressure, and avoid heavy grinding until the edge truly needs repair.
