Nice looking knife.

[thetackdriver]

really nice looking knife. wats he charge for one of those??

[BlacktailStalker]

Real nice.
I'd be scared of losing it with the open top sheath.
That thought always crosses my mind on fixed blade knives and has prevented me from owning one.

[darrin6109]

actually i thought the same thing with regards to the sheath, but when talking to Bob he said he has not had any problems at all.

[Lone Ranger]

Wow, thats an beautiful knife!

The guy I share the house with carries a ~4" knife in an open top sheath, he's never lost it and he's in the bush all the time. I personally carry a folding blade deep in my pocket, and a 6" fixed with a snap-shut sheath for it. I personally don't trust it (even if it does hold the knife firmly, they do eventually wear down from use), and I'd really hate to lose a knife like that! LR

[Ddog]

[bridger]

how do you contact bob lay?

[BlacktailStalker]

Google his name and a whack of knife makers including him come up on one site. Some unreal knives on there and some big $ items :cool:

[BiG Boar]

What is the handle there? Jade?

[bridger]

I did and got lots of knife makers but no specific info about bob. does he live in abbotsford?

[BTFever]

now you can say "THATS NOT A KNIFE..." and mean it.





thats a beauty knife!

[TurtleGod]

I always like to see one of Bob's knives.

I only have one and have done nothing with it but look and drool at it.

Very nice knife by the way. Congrats.

[hunter1947]

Thats a dandy looking knife you got there ,will serve you for years..

[Jetboater]

I have 4 of Bobs Knives and they are the best you can find, the one is 8 years old and still snugs to the sheath perfectly....

[blacklab]

I didn't think it was a big secret, if you contact blacklab I'm sure Bob Lay will get the message.
And thanks for all the good press.

Bob had a table at the Chilliwack show on the weekend. I was happy to see him because I have been looking to contact him for about 2 years and there isn't enough info on the interweb. The knives feel even better than they look. I don't have any reservations about the sheath he makes. I think Bob's reputation speaks to that. I'll definately be getting one.

Bob told me to go to www.bladegallery.com (http://www.bladegallery.com) for a profile of some of his knives. They're around $500 each. If your serious about making an order, call him at 250-523-9923. He's in Logan Lake.

[BlacktailStalker]

Off topic; Whats the difference between 440C stainless and Ats-34 steel ? (quality)
Thanks.

[MuleyStalker]

Saw his booth at the chilliwack show and had a hard time leaving it. If I hadn't already spent my money on a new scope, I would've seriously considered one of his knives. Congrats on a grade A knife!!:)
