Question 1

Where is it made

Accepted Answer

My paring knife has no marking on it, but the Victorinox packaging says (on the back) it was made in Switzerland. Great little knife.

Question 2

description says fibrox handle but the picture seems to contradict this...is this the case?

Accepted Answer

The Knife labeled, "Victorinox Swiss Army 3-1/4-Inch Fibrox Straight Edge Paring Knife, Black" which I purchased from Amazon has a polypropylene handle, not Fibrox.  On this page it is listed as being Item model number: 45508, but the item I received (twice) says 40508 on the sleeve the knife came in.  I am still in search of the, as of yet, elusive Victorinox paring knife with Fibrox handle which Cooks Illustrated described as:"Product name: Victorinox Fibrox Paring Knife, 3 1/4-inchManufacturer: Victorinox Model Number: 40600 Recommendation Status: Highly Recommended"The Amazon link at Cooks Illustrated brings one to the Amazon page:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EYUDZE/?tag=cioequippilot-20   (Forschner 3.25" Paring Knife) which has no mention of a Fibrox handle, but instead describes the handle as, "Polypropylene handles is dishwasher safe."Amazon says it is working on this problem.

Question 3

What is the model number of the Victorinox knife with the Fibrox handle ?   It is not the one on this page, despite what the title says.

Accepted Answer

If you're still interested, this is the set of three paring knives with Fibrax handles (or so it states): https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Classic-3-Piece-Paring/dp/B005LRYWEW/ref=psdc_284507_t4_B008M5U1UE. The price at the time I'm writing is $15.48 and includes 3-1/4" Serrated Parer, 3-1/4" Straight Parer, and 2 -1/2" Bird's Beak Parer.  Hope that helps. I DO have to say though, in the picture for the set, the knives appear to have polypropylene handles. I could be wrong though...been wrong before.... Anyway, have a good day!

Question 4

What sheath would I order to fit this knife?

Accepted Answer

For the Victorinox 40600 3.25" Paring Knife there is a Victorinox Paring Knife Pouch with Clip.This would most likely be the best option for this pairing knife.
