Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. This Bob Lay Classic Hunter will have superior performance in the field, yet would feel comfortable in most any collection.
Dyed and stabilized box elder burl nicely complements natural elk antler. Thin alternating black fiber and brass spacers assist the handle to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The brass guard and butt cap create a perfect balance in the hand. The handle is completed with a lanyard.
By mirror polishing the flats of the blade and satin finishing the grinds, Bob creates a knife with grind lines that are very dramatic. The blade has been heat treated to Rc 58 for optimal edge retention. By using CPM154 powder metallurgical (PM) stainless steel, Bob ensures a keen, long lasting edge without the additional care of carbon steel.
Accompanied by a hand stitched leather sheath, cordura storage pouch, and certificate from the maker.
