It's an Eclipse/Ascent. Eclipse was a bit earlier and I believe turned into the Ascent line.

I'm looking that one up now to, thanks. Anyway to tell for sure?

I don't know between the Eclipse and Ascent, the Pika was a close looking, but imported knife, so it's not that.

Good point, didn't think of that. At least it's somewhere i can start searching, thanks again.

The handle shape, handle construction, lock, and basic blade shape all match those of an Ascent. (handle looks to be FRN with no liners.)
ATS-34 was the uber stahl of the early to mid 90's.
Later Ascent models had a hole instead of a thumb stud.
