Description: 2006 marks the 30th anniversary of Bob's knives. Throughout the year, he will be marking his 30 favorite knives of the year with the "Lay 30" mark to celebrate the anniversary. This is one such knife.
Bob Lay's designs are well thought out and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The Bow Hunter is a new style from Bob in 2006 and is a perfectly sized hunter -- large enough to get the job done, but compact enough not to get in the way.
The stark black of the buffalo horn handle is nicely offset by the blonde tones in the sheephorn spacer. 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.
Accompanied by certificate from the maker.
