Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. Stabilized black ash burl is nicely highlighted by the sheep horn spacer. The wood on this Bow Hunter is particularly dramatic -- combining a swirling grain structure with a nice mix of light and dark tones. The stainless steel guard and butt cap create a perfect balance in the hand. By mirror polishing the flats of the blade and satin finishing the grinds, Bob creates a knife with grind lines that are very dramatic. Bob recently upgraded his steel of choice from 440C to CPM154. This powdered metallurgical steel has a smaller grain structure allowing the blade to be keener and hold the edge longer. The blade has been tempered to 59Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by certificate from the maker and a cordura storage pouch.
