First Press Fit Guard
« on: April 05, 2009, 04:43:00 PM »
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.
5160
5" blade and 9.75" O.A.
N/S pins and guard
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!

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
