Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The black ash burl handle has a swirling grain pattern and is nicely offset by blonde sheep horn. 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 59 - 60 Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by certificate from the maker and a cordura storage pouch.
