The description says this knife comes with a fibrox handle, but the picture doesn't seem to show this. What kind of handle does it have?

I can't tell you, but it's lightweight & dishwasher safe. Incidently this is by far the best knife I have ever owned & I have had chicago cutlery, Wusthuf. ceramic & others. I am very picky about knives. I believe they make cooking a chore or a pleasure. I wish I could tell you more about the handle, sorry.

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.

Well...I'm not really sure. I don't think I would know fibrox if I saw it...the handles of both my knifes have a very slight texture and I can make out a seam all around from top of blade to sharp edge.

I just visted the Vitrorinox site and looked at the Fibrox knife set and it is as picture in amazon and what I have, I am not sure what your seeing.I have had knife set for 9 months and still happy with them and have used steel to sharpen to maintain the edge.Link has Fibrox knives at top of page http://www.victorinox.com/us/category/Category/Knife-Sets/2110?f=category&v;=2/200/2110&m;=add&

the knife pictured is the fallkniven F1 with the thermorun handle, I have one of these and it is full tang and it is exposed at the pommel. I bought this about a year and a half ago and am very pleased. the handle is a bit thin but I have smaller hands so it is not a problem for me. The quality of this knife is second to none and it is vg-10 stainless steel, best of both worlds!

I havnt owned the regular black handle version but I would guess no because this one is also very slippery. However the quality and sharpness of the blade makes up for it

Yes, it does. Easy to use in either hand, comfortable grip and well balanced handle. Can't go wrong with this knife, I'm very satisfied.

I ordered this knife twice and one time I got the rubber handle and the other time I got the wooden handle. Hate to say it, but it is a crap shoot. Sorry I can't be more help. The rubber handle is worth more if that makes it any better.

It has a "rat tail" type tang that runs 2/3 of the length of the handle. These knives are tough and I don't think that not having a full tang hurts it at all.

This question would be best asked of Kabar.FYIIt is a very nice knife and is exactly as described.

First of all the last that two that answered shouldnt have responded if they choose to be so rude. Ignore them. This knife has a liner lock. You push the thin piece of metal ti the side where the blade originally came out of the handle. Good luck!

The one I have has a brown leather sheath with a snap near the guard and a loop cord that fits in the brass hole in the handle I loop around the tip to keep it secure. It is one of my favorite sheath knives by the way. I hope this helps.

it comes with a tan handle. i believe the "black" refers to the coating on the blade.

What is shown is being sold. I purchased one of these about a year ago and am very happy with it. I was a professional cook for over 20 years and finding knives that have the heaviness of kitchen ones is difficult. This one is heavy like the kitchen ones I used. It also stays sharp a long time. I recommend this knife. John

It comes with a nylon/cordura sheath. Very compact for a knife of this size.

im assuming you mean the tang inside of handle , no it doesnt . this is a junk knife , i bought one and its a thin stick tang inside of handle which is a very weak design . handle came loose by only waving it around vigorously . heres a knife thats a little bit shorter but way way more sturdy and has a true full tang all the way to end of handle : schrade schf3n extreme survival fixed blade knife $41.97 . sheaths very good too

This knife is a liner lock and is mis-described in the text. They do make a frame lock knife and this isn't it. I have both. I personally prefer the frame lock to the liner lock, as it seems stronger.

Neither of the 2 I've owned has had an aluminum handle, but I would imagine that it being a one handed operable knife that having a little extra weight would be to it's advantage.

I don't recall, but there is an excellent Youtube video review on this knife. I am sure they mention it in there.
