Fight’n Rooster Old Yeller Knife

[Jeffinn]

I’m trying to find a reference photo of this knife. There were only 300 made and I’m assuming a lot of those were destroyed by celluloid out gassing. Does anyone have a picture of one of these knives that they can share? There’s a project knife that I’m considering but I’d kinda like to see what it looked like when new.
Thanks.

I have many Fight,n Rooster knives and Fight,n Rooster books Jeff, however, would you have any more information other than "Old Yeller Knife"?
There were also many with only 300 made roosters made.

Jeff, I did find one in my Jim Parker "Fight'n Rooster Knives: Yesturday-Today-Tommorrow" book published in 1994.
Perhaps this is your knife of interest?
This knife pictured below (Stock Knife 'Old Yellow') is pre 1982, 1 of 300 made with Frank Buster Cutlery Company Stamp, it has reverse etch on Master Blade?
It has a price listed as; $110 in 1994.

Perhaps this is the knife you are seeking a reference to? If not, let me know and I will continue my research with the material I have.

Thanks for that info Dan!
Here’s a photo of the knife (or what’s left of it, not my photo).
