While looking thru the Smoky Mountain Christmas catalog this morning, I noticed a new term, DymaLux. Some of the Buck knives in the catalog were described as having DymondWood handles and others were described as having DymaLux handles. DymondWood was a registered trademark of the Rutger (edit..Rutland, not Rutger) Plywood Company which burnt down a few years ago and to my knowledge never rebuilt. Googling DymaLux I learned it is also a resin impregnated Birch laminate like DymondWood but made by Cousineau Wood Products (CWP). DymaLux.... a new term I guess we will be seeing more of in the future. /Roger

I'm at work playing on the computer, so I can't go outside....well, maybe lunch! Makes you wonder when exactly the transition was to DymaLux, and if there will be some noticeable difference in the future.
 
I wonder if we will see some new colors, like black, and foliage green and oxblood?

I try to check in of a morning as throughout the day activities may prevent me from returning until later. It was just my guess. DM
 
I was kind of hoping they would go back to natural wood. But I understand if laminated products are tougher or cheaper to use. They look nice too.

That would be Rutland Plywood Corporation DSS.It may seem like a minor but no less important distinction.

Good information,thanks.

I just came across this company in New York state that sells something they call Webbwood, which they describe as a "replacement for Dymondwood" and which looks just the same:

I recently purchased some new-old stock Dymondwood to use on knife handles. The stuff is getting harder to find, so I'm glad to find an alternative. :thumbup:
 
I'm the sales manager for DB Webb the material listed as WebbWood.
DB Webb is a contract wood manufacture in business for about 30 years when Rutland burned we needed a material supplier for many of our customers in the knife industry as well as archery pool cues and many others. We worked with a supplier to develop WebbWood which is now a line of four different materials and we are the sole distributor.
If anybody has any questions about the material please take a look at our website www.webbwood.com
