Description: Bob Lay's designs are well thought through and show an amazing degree of craftsmanship. Warm tones in Acrylester spacer nicely set off the jet black buffalo horn. 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 from 440C to CPM154. This powdered metallurgical steel has a smaller grain structure allowing the blade to be keener and hold the edge longer. The blade has been tempered to 59 - 60 Rc for optimal edge retention. Accompanied by certificate from the maker and a cordura storage pouch.
