Very nice proportions. The materials go well together although I like using all Stainless or all N/S, but that dont mean I do it all the time.  :D  I see you pinned the scales together and used a buttcap. How'd you hold the buttcap on?

I have to give you high marks on this knife Kevin. I think it's one of your best. Lin

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments.It is actually pretty straight all the way through and my people that critique didn't have to talk as long.
Lin the reason for the N/S butt cap I couldn't find or at least didn't have any stainless wide enough,'but I did have N/S,guess I was a little impatient.The butt cap has screw soldiered on it and drilled in clear to the back pin then brownells accua glass on it
