He came over to Chris\u2019s house last year on Christmas Eve and designed it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in Tomahawks, they\u2019re working on a limited run of 48 of them and they\u2019ll cost $400 each.

Chris tells me that they usually can restock within a couple of weeks and that the black versions of all of the knives can be back-ordered. I\u2019ll say that you shouldn\u2019t wait too long though as the secret is getting out and these knives designed and manufactured by a former member of the military and SOF community won\u2019t always be this easy to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, all the knives being made at Stroup Knives cost between $145 and $400.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stroupknives.com\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stroup-knives-review-2\" title=\"Stroup Knives - Military Heritage, Handmade, American, & Affordable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Stroup Knives<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while I find really cool gear that isn\u2019t way overpriced.
