About the TU2
A slimmer handle with a finger hook for a fast draw from the sheath.
Full description
The TU2 takes the TU series thickness into a smaller package, with a slimmer handle and a finger hook at the front of the grip. The hook does two things. It indexes your hand, so you know where the edge is pointed without looking at it, and it gives you something to pull against when you're getting the knife out of the Kydex. That second one matters more than it sounds. Most times you reach for a knife, your other hand is already full: a rope, a branch, a hind leg, a bag of decoys. Getting it out one handed, with a glove on, is the difference between using the knife and setting everything else down first. It's a lot of knife for the size. The thicker stock will take a baton through seasoned wood, pry a staple out of a fence post, and still field dress a deer without feeling clumsy about it. The slimmer handle suits a medium hand better than the TU1 does, and it carries closer to the body, which you notice on a long day. Everything else is what you'd expect from this shop. High carbon steel, a tang running the length of the handle, and a sheath that holds the knife tight without a strap. Made to order in North Carolina.

Ordered a tu2 on back order and it shipped in 5 hours! i had to keep re-reading the email to believe it. The design is awesome, fit and finish is perfect. The size is perfect for edc. I will absolutely be buying from you again.
Absolutely love this knife. The ergonomic handle feels amazing. Size is perfect for my big hands. It has been on my everyday since I got it 🍻
shipping was lightning fast, packaging was good. love everything about the knife with one exception. the handle length was great, but it's considerably thinner than I thought it would be. when I hold it, it only fills out the balls of my knuckles. doesn't fill out the palm of my hand at all. I take all responsibility for that. I could only find 2 YouTube video's on this knife and the pictures on your website. and I guess I just didn't look closely enough and the YouTube videos didn't mention that. I'm only mentioning it so that if someone else is looking to buy this model, they'll have a better expectation of what they will be getting. would love to get another on of your products at some point, will just need to be sure that the handle will fill out my hand better.
Very nice knife.
