Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought out and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The macassar ebony handle has a nice mix of dark and lighter tones and is separated from the guard by a buffalo horn spacer. The stainless steel guard and butt cap create a perfect balance in the hand. The clip is brought to a false edge. 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.
