Can someone please tell me why the model #'s are different? Cooks illustrated highly recommended model # 47520, but this knife has a different model#

Yes, I'd be happy to answer your question. I work for Victorinox Swiss Army. The second digit in an item # refers to the type of packaging on the knife. So the base number for the 8" Chef's Knife USED to be 40520. This has changed recently to reflect the Swiss Item #5.2063.20 printed on the blade. This item number is usually on each knife regardless of the packaging. If there is a 7 as the second digit in the item number which is what we sell on amazon, then that means it comes in retail packaging also known as a clam shell pack. If there is a 5 in the second digit, the knife will arrive in an easy to open brown corrugated box also known as "frustration free packaging". Cook's Illustrated purchased the clam shell packaged version of the knife, but it is the same as the 45520. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.Thanks for being our customer!

Frustration free packaging. Took me a while to figure that out, too

what is difference between fibrox and classic?

I think both Classic and "Fibrox" (40520) handles are made of the slightly "rough" Fibrox material. The handle shape is different; the Classic turns down at the end. The "Fibrox" has a straighter handle with a pinky hook at the end.
