Description: This hunting knife is a pleasure to have by your side. Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship.
Cocobolo scales are set on a full tang for strength and durability. It is very rare to find a Bob Lay knife with a full tang. The wood handle combines warm brown and chocolate tones.
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 to 19C27. The steel, which is in the same family as 12C27, is tremendously wear-resistant and takes on an incredibly keen, long lasting edge. It was originally developed for cutting cardboard in industrial settings. It is one of those rare steels that has exceptional edge holding and can be easily stropped from sort-of dull to scary sharp. The blade has been tempered to 58.5Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by certificate from the maker and a leather sheath.
