Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought out and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. The deep black buffalo horn handle is highlighted by thin stainless spacers and a thicker dyed and stabilized box elder burl spacer. The result is an extremely dramatic classically styled hunter. 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 59Rc for optimal edge retention. Exceptional fit and finish throughout. It is clear why Bob's work is sought after for by both collectors and hunters.
