Chris Stroup of Stroup Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 375 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/375).

An Army veteran, Chris left the service and entered into the real estate world, which ultimately funded his foray into knife making. Stroup Knives offers six different models of fixed blade knives, from EDC to tactical to camp, all in 1095 High Carbon Steel with a variety of handle materials. All knives come with custom Kydex sheaths.

Stroup Knives are custom fixed blades meant to be used in the field, for EDC or combat and are built with a mission: "To provide you the ONLY knife you need when the world goes to hell." Stroup knives has been a family business since 2017, with four Stroup children helping in the shop.

Chris collaborated with ex-LEO and tactical dog trainer Justin Melnick on the Bravo 5. Stroup also collaborated with survival expert EJ Snyder on the Mountain Predator, a survival combat Bowie. Besides knives and tomahawks for camp and combat, Stroup also makes a Pry Tool that won Best Factory Non-Knife Tool at Blade Show West 2022.
