About the Mini1
The Mini with a slight belly, for smoother controlled cuts.
Full description
The Mini1 is the Mini with a curve put back into the edge. Same three inch blade, same six and three quarter inch overall length, but a slight belly ahead of the straight section. That curve is what you want if you are slicing rather than scoring. It lets the edge sweep through a cut instead of stopping at the end of a straight push, which matters when you are working on something soft or something round. If you cannot decide between this and the Mini, pick this one. The belly costs nothing at the jobs the straight edge is good at, and it helps everywhere else. 1095 high carbon steel at 58-59 HRC, G10 or Honduran Rosewood, hand molded Kydex sheath with a Blade-Tech clip. Ground and heat treated by hand in North Carolina, built to order. It will patina, so keep it dry and oiled.

Amazing knife. Customer service amazing
I bought this knife to use on duty and it is perfect. For those that are current LEOs, they know how hard it is to cut a deployed airbag to get it out of your way. I've used folding knives before and it is such a pain, especially when you get to the seam part. This knife cut right through everything and had no issues. I love this thing.
Good EDC
love the knife. great service
Don't let the small stature of this fixed blade fool you, it's definitely still very useful. Love how the handle is shaped and fits all but my pinky finger comfortably. This fixed blade is in my opinion a better option than most folders for an EDC as you get the quick draw straight to use and don't have to fidget with mechanisms or flick the knife to open. Plus you get the full tang strength that a folder lacks. If I had one suggestion it's a common theme among Stroup Knives that the holsters are taco style with mounting holes only on one side, I personally would prefer holes on both sides for flexible mounting options.
