Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought out and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The combination of stabilized blue/green dyed box elder burl with deep black buffalo horn makes a very dramatic appearance. The stainless steel guard and butt cap create a perfect balance in the hand. The spine is lightly fileworked, creating a perfect thumb rest. 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 spine has been fileworked for a secure thumb purchase. The blade has been heat treated to 57Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by tooled leather sheath and cordura storage pouch.
