Inox on the blade?

Post by flytyer46 »

I found out that Inox means stainless in french. Is there a specific maker or company
who marks their blades "Inox"? Or are these just mass produced blades that are used by
multiple makers/company's. Anyway I figure in another ten or fifteen years I might have
all this Switchblade stuff figured out.

thanks

Tim,

Inox has been used by many makers on many blade types for many years.

Inox, on Swiss Army Knives ONLY is a special/classified smelting [I'm guessing, close to 425 stainless] :wink:
On ANYTHING else it means stainless and type unspecified :idea:
