First, thanks for all your responses to my Vantage question, helped immensely and made making the decision easy. I went to my local Bi-Mart and picked up a standard Select, nice. Then later that morning was going through another town with my job and swung into Wal-Mart and saw they too had the same knife BUT ALSO carried the Select in Dymondwood like the Avid's handle, SWEET. I grabbed the last one they had in stock and boy is she a beauty compared to the Black Zytel model, LOVE IT. Would have been nice to compare a couple of them for grain appearance but really have no complaints about what I got, nice grain stripes and all. Seems to me that the Dymondwood is slightly grip-pier than the Zytel, maybe it's just me. Also it may be a weee bit thicker too. Anyway, I think I'll keep both and give the Zytel model to my adult son, he needs a quality knife in his pocket. Long story short, this just could be the perfect EDC knife, love everything about it. My knives don't get hard use so the 420HC is OK with me, still a great steel even though a Pro would be nice someday, BUT... sure am liking the Dymondwood!!! Thanks again guys for your advice.
 
Cool! After the Dymondwood Selects showed up on the bay and I bought a few, I figured that they were supposed to be for WalMart because the labels all had the typical orange dot with 101 in it that (except for the number) I've found on all Bucks I've bought there.

No one from Buck or anyone else ever confirmed that's who they were made for and I never saw anymore of them.

Very nice looking knives!
