Red Fibron Handles

[Flatlander1963]

Anyone got a picture of an Alpha with red fibron handles?
I'm assuming it's not the rosewood lam. handles.
Thanks gw

Well Flats, while everyone is looking for a red fibron, I have a question. When did they quit doing fibron? And when did they start doing Alphas?

Just curious

anyone?

Pack,

Richard M. has got one for sale and I was hoping he'd put a picture up but I'll be honest I don't know what red fibron looks like or anything about it. But Richard has the ability to own some very unique and interesting knives to say the least.

So maybe somebody will help us out with a picture of something with it.

I don't remember the exact year but seems like 97 or 98. They were supposed to be for a subsequent year but we were so excited about the design we pressed them into that current year's new products.

As to Fibron...that was a brand name for the laminated/impregnated birch handles. We use the same material basically from a different source today.

I gotcha now...so its just the rosewood handles on the 277.
Thanks CJ.
