    I don't own a Fight'n Rooster but I plan on fixing that. I hope to get a canoe pattern. Do ya'll know if they ever made a Moose pattern?

  • James E.

    Robert,   To my knowledge Fight'n Rooster never made a Moose. They did however make a 4 inch square bolster Muskrat.

    I have looked for a long time for one without finding any so I figured that might be the case. I also enjoy collecting the Canoe pattern so I might just get one of those in the future. Since you started this group why don't you tell us about the different generations or what ever devides the old from the new. Just any info a new collector might enjoy are need to collect this brand. Thanks!

  • James E.

    Well, I didn't start this group but I do have a fair knowledge of Fight'n Roosters and have owned many over the years. I don't really know what you are wanting to know but I will be glad to try to answer any questions you might have.  As with most knives, the older ones are a little better but I enjoy them all. There were a lot of really nice ones made during the 'Celebrated' era which is 1982 to 1994.  I will try to post more Fight'n Rooster pics as time allows.

  • Bill Fletcher

    James your half whittler is full time good looking!   All of the FR pearl that I have seen has been especially nice with a lot of fire!

  • James E.

    Thanks Bill. Yes, most of the Fight'n Rooster pearls were very nice.

    2003 club knife with blued blades.

  • perry coleman

    Even many of us look for the Celebrated knives, these 1990 and 2000 knives are  pretty special too! I wonder why Mr. Frank chose to use the blued steel blades?

  • perry coleman

    Even "though", I meant to say.

  • Bill Fletcher

    James, That is a beautiful handful of 1990 International Sunfish Pearl !!!

  • James E.

    Thanks Bill.

     

    Perry I don't know why he did the blued blades.  It doesn't show very well in the photos but those  blades are really nice looking. There is another pattern with blued blades but I don't have it. Maybe someday....

  • perry coleman

    I know you'll find it James. you're much more focused than I am.

    So James, was this made within the last year?

  • James E.

    Yes, it was made in 2011 Perry.

    James

  • perry coleman

    Huh, so Sterling is still makin em. That surprises me frankly.

  • James E.

    He still puts out a few every year.  There is supposed to be some new ones coming soon but I haven't received anything on them yet.

     

    James

  • perry coleman

    Still not sure how he remains liquid in the market at that rate but you probably know better than me.

  • James E.

    I don't know Perry but I'm always happy to see some new Fight'n Roosters.

     

    James

  • perry coleman

    Yep, as long as there are new and more, that's all the matters.

  • James E.

    Stag 'Hard Times' half whittler.

     

    James

     

  • perry coleman

    I had one of these at one point. Another one I wish I'd held onto. One of Mr. Frank's classics!

  • James E.

    Perry I had the whole half whittler set at one time but I sold most of the celluloids a while back.

    Man I love Fight'n Roosters this is what I used to collect when I was a kid!!

  • Jacob White

    Just bought the Jim Parkers Fight'n Rooster Knives book last night.  Looking forward to getting my hands on it an seeing what it has to say about the Roosters I have.

  • perry coleman

    Yep, the book is very helpful in collecting FR knives. There are so many things to know as far as dating the regular run knives and the club knives.

  • Jan Carter

    Sterling,

    I dont know how but I missed welcoming you to the Fight N Rooster group!  Some of pics I took at the Gator show.  I have been seeing more and more Fight N Roosters showing up lately.  In my eyes, they are an awesome knife..good steel, great construction and always a good looking knife!

  • Gary Dutt
