Abstract
In this article, we give an explicit formula to compute the
non abelian twisted sign-deter\-mined Reidemeister torsion of the
exterior of a fibered knot in terms of its monodromy. As an
application, we give explicit formulae for the non abelian
Reidemeister torsion of torus knots and of the figure eight knot.
