Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. Warm tones from dyed, stabilized box elder burl are highlighted by the buffalo horn spacer. The wood on this bird and trout knife is particularly dramatic. 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. The blade has been heat treated to 57Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by certificate from the maker.
