My first thought was Koa, but looking at the way the light is bouncing off the grain in the first pic (left side of image), my money is on Walnut--looks like a lot of rifle stocks I've seen.
Nonetheless, it's great wood.
Every now and then, the labels I put on wood will fall off, and I'll forget what it was. I still use it. I know it is knife appropriate, or I wouldn't buy it, so I have been known to put it on the table as a 'mystery' wood. That works out great because lookers at the show all have their opinion as to the wood species. It starts a conversation (like this one) and the knife gets attention and usually sells.
Cool blades too!
