Which species of "rosewood" is this made from?

I'm no botanist or versed in the arts of trees so I can't answer this.the deterioration of the wood is natural, and it may be oiled once in a while with special oils used to protect furniture (I think,,,) but, anyways, I don't think I'm having the same knife for longer than 5~6 years, so, it doesn't really matter right now, had mine for 6 months only, and its still shinny and sharp.

I'm not sure but if you are that worried about what species of rosewood it is than I would suggest you contact Victorinox for the answer. I've had mine for several years and it looks as good now as the day I bought it. And I love the life time warranty. So either buy it or not. But I love my knife and have ordered more.

I have no idea. Dark bugundy with lighter highlights. I've had my original one for 34 years, the handle and blade are still perfect. I have had the blade reground once during that time. Still razor sharp with a few strokes of a ceramic stone.

I can't answer this, though I can say that it gets less pretty over a few years of constant use and I think I'd go back to the artificial handle if I could. Perhaps I just don't know how to maintain wood.

I just checked the label on mine and it is made in China! BUT, I highly recommend this unit. I build Electric Guitars and use Hard Rock Maple for necks and many other hardwoods. Cuts like butter and the finish is smooth. Only issue is sniping but all manufacturers do that! Plus it has a fast speed rate. I had to thickness several, several lengths of Pine from 3/4" to 1/2". It produced a mountain of shavings and was quick The finish was way better than the way it came. The unit is heavy but I think that shows how well it is made. Guitarman

It seems to be a wood filler but the shell is walnut. It's so nice that I ordered a second one. You'll love it.

I'm not even sure what kind of mahogany it is, but the big thing is the wood isn't even cut right. Maybe mine was just a defect but the slot for the neck to screw in was not at all straight and that kept the pic guard from even fitting in place until I had to cut a piece off. I guess all that matters is that the strings are in line with the neck correctly no matter what direction the neck goes, but I wouldn't be worrying about the wood, I wouldn't even buy this unless u want a correction project

From the Seagull website, " The back and sides of the Original series models are made from a three-layer lamination of Wild Cherry wood. With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a Mahogany guitar and the bright sound of Maple, Wild Cherry has proven itself to be an excellent tone wood."I've been playing this guitar for a year now and love it even more than when I first purchased it.

I don't know what species of wood it is, but I can say it is a beautiful piece of furniture. I have it in my living room and it's really lovely. Nice color, very smooth finish on it. I would definitely recommend it.

It appears to be a hardwood of some species, but it is stained, so I don't recognize which one.

I don't know. It is not specified. Something from the orient. But it looks nice, very light in color like a blond birch. I have two of the tables purchased about 9 years apart. They wear very well. Sturdy, too.

Made in Thailand. Don't know the wood. It is a hardwood, the color of red maple.

Parawood is wood from a tree commonly called the rubber tree. It is hardwood. This is not particleboard.

Country of origin was China, purchased in the United States. This guitar is well made and the fit and finish is well within USA made Fender standards. I replaced the strings it came with and it plays very well now.

All the wood is covered by either vinyl on the outside or thick polyester "fur" on the inside so it's hard to determine what type of wood it is made of. However, given the weight of the case (empty), it is likely a 3 or 4- layer plywood which usually outgas very little after the manufacturing process. The engineered woods that usually leach formaldehyde are seldom strong enough to hold up to the abuse of a guitar case and are too heavy to be used. So, feel safe that this is not an engineered wood product.

Rosewood. However, it is a very dark finish, and looks just fine in our room with black and burgundy. It looks almost black, you have to look close to see it is a red color.

Sure, most classical guitars have rosewood fretboards, directions say to stay away from maple fretboards only.

The package does not say. But it is made from sustainable forests. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure but it is probably from the USA since it is derived from wood and paper mills use a tremendous amount of wood every day.
