Description: Bob Lay creates a spectacular hunting knife. His designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. This Bob Lay knife is the perfect size for using out in the field.
The blade is made from CPM154 stainless steel that has been heat treated to Rc 59 for optimal edge retention and durability. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it! By mirror polishing the flats of the blade and satin finishing the grinds, Bob shows off clean grind lines that are very dramatic. Jimping along the spine offers a secure thumb purchase. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. A small ricasso makes re-sharpening a breeze.
The handle is made from a beautiful section of kingwood that really shows off its irregular circular grain. A true rosewood, kingwood is harvested from a small tree called Dalbergia Cearensis that is restricted to a small area in Brazil. Extremely rare, kingwood was famous for being used in the finest furniture in the world during the 17th century that was often only sold to royalty. The sheep horn spacer nicely complements the warm toned wood. The handle is completed with a stainless steel butt cap, guard, and spacers, giving it perfect balance in hand.
This knife is accompanied by a hand stitched and tooled brown leather sheath and a Cordura storage pouch. This knife will be a perfect companion for any adventure!
