What is Fibrox and is this knife made in China?

The knife is 100% made in Switzerland from the blade to the handle by master cutlers. You may visit our factory on your next trip to Ibach!

Fibrox is the material that makes up the patented handle, so I imagine it is the name of the material used. The knife is stamped as "Swiss Made" plus American Test Kitchens has run comparisons on it twice and it beats out other knives despite the lower price.

My knife says "Swiss Made", but says nothing about location of manufacturing, so the devil may be in the nuances there.Fibrox seems to be some sort of super durable plastic to my eye. It is very hard and I've grown to prefer it over the more traditional handle types. I'm not sure if this is the same Fibrox, but I suspect it is: http://www.fibrox.com/products.htm

Fibrox, I believe, is the material of the handle. i don't know where they are made. It is a very good kitchen knife for the home cook.

If the 8- and 10-inch knives are both made in Switzerland, why are they significantly cheaper to buy in the States?

Taiwan...I didn't know until I bought it....a little disappointed it's not made in U.S.A.....but a very good knife all the same.

The Cold Steel Kudu is made in China. The blade is long, over 4", it is sharp and locks in the open position very securely. I bought two, one for myself and one for my brother. I don't use mine much, but my brother really likes his.

Made in China like most Cold Steel products, but I can assure you this is a quality knife, dangerous, but quality.

The knife is made in Taiwan.. But i haven't had a problem with it what so ever. Ive skinned a couple animals and it hold a edge very well.

This knife is now made in Taiwan. I also own an older model that is made in the USA. The quality of both knives is very good.

The one that I have purchased was made in Taiwan. In my opinion it doesn't matter where it is made at ,but what is made of and put together. I have been a collector and knife maker for years. Carbon steel has always been the most practical for ease of sharpening and what I use. Yes it does rust , but a knife is a tool not a thing to set on a shelve and stared at. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you.

This is a sub brand of Spyderco. They are made in China I believe and not quite up to Spyderco standards, but are of decent quality for the price. Hope that helps!

China is what I was told when I contacted the company, but it is a US based company. They are really amazing knives though. I use them so much that I bought another set.

They don't tell you the country of origin. My best guess would be Pakistan, based on similar products. I don't think anyone offers replacement sheaths specifically for this knife. You'd have to have one custom made, most likely. I honestly wouldn't recommend this knife. It is not nearly as nice looking as the photos, and mine wasn't heat treated, so it wouldn't even hold an edge.

It is, but not a whole lot heavier. I think the rosewood is denser than fibrox.I have bought both versions of this knife and truth be told the rosewood one definetly feels more balanced

I bought this a month or so ago. The only stamp on the blade is "China", and there was nothing on the package stating what it is. I'm going to make a guess and say either stainless or spring steel. It keeps an edge pretty good & feels nice in your hand.

The blade is stamped 8Cr13MoV not Sandvik 14C28N. Made in China. It does hold an edge fairly well and for $23 who is complaining. I like the knife and recommended it to several friends who are purchasing one too.

The knife's tang (the portion of the metal blade that extends into the handle) is surrounded by a textured black plastic material (they call it "Fibrox"). There is, as far as I can tell no gap between the tang and the Fibrox material, if that is what you're asking.

It seems to have afibrox handle, although I'm no expert, it is a unique material, it is very hard and resistant to chipping. It has kind of a grainy texture yet it is smooth and easy to grip.

Nope, China.....but it is a well made blade. Has become one of my favorites. Kershaw's quality control overseas is top notch.

These are Made in China. Please be aware that the Victorinox is a Switzerland company and that is what is stated in the blade of the knife. These are NOT Made in Switzerland. Buyer be aware.
