This is my first press fit have gotta close on other occasions but finally got one that fit properly.It takes longer to press fit than soldier , but makes clean-up a breeze.Hopefully they will all be this way in the future.

5" blade and 9.75" O.A.

I think California Buckeye or spalted Maple (can't remember) if you guys know what wood please tell me
   Thanks for looking!!!

The coloring on that looks a lot like Buckeye.
Appears to be a really sweet user!
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

That's a great looking knife! That looks great for a first try, it looks like you have been doing it for years.

Looks great Kevin.   :clapper:  

Thats a good all around knife. I believe that size will cover everything from rabbits to Moose.

I'm going to say Buckeye too. Lin
