Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship.
Stabilized box elder burl is nicely complimented by blond sheep horn. By stabilizing the convoluted wood, Bob created a dramatic knife that will hold up well to the high demands of a hunting knife. 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. Filework along the spine ensures a secure thumb purchase.
Bob recently began using a wider range of steels including ATS-34, 19C27 and CPM154. This 19C27 stainless steel has a smaller grain structure allowing the blade to be keener and hold the edge longer. The blade has been tempered to 58.5 Rc for optimal edge retention and durability. By mirror polishing the flats of the blade and satin finishing the grinds, Bob creates a knife with grind lines that are very dramatic.
Accompanied by hand tooled sheath, cordura storage pouch, and certificate from the maker.
