Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought out and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The rich brown walnut handle has excellent grain structure, with flames of lighter and darker lines moving through the background. The front sheep horn spacer brings excellent contrast. Alternating nickel silver and black fiber spacers assist the handle to adjust to changes in temperature and humidity. 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. It is clear why Bob's work is sought after by both collectors and hunters.
Accompanied by certificate from the maker and green cordura storage pouch.
