fight'n rooster knives

[greysteel]

i was wondering if there was a website that had a lot of them ect.

I don't think there is a website any longer. It hadn't been updated in several years, and it seems to have disappeared. I was once a member of the "Collector's Club".....got 2 little papers in a two year period...

Here is Sterling Buster's eBay store, he is Frank's son...

Fight'n Rooster is one of the few well known brands I don't own. What's the deal on this brand? Where would they fall on the quality scale, where a $1000 custom is a 10, a Schatt and Morgan is an 8, etc?

Thanks!

Oh boy....an "opinion" type question.....

These knives are made for Frank Buster in the Olbertz factory in Solingen. Same place as the Bulldogs are made for the Parker family. I would rate the 6 or 7 I have accumulated as slightly better consistent quality than Bulldog or the regular Queen models, but not quite as nicely finished as the 2 Schatt and Morgan knives I own. OK, to answer your question....I'm calling them about a 7.5 on the Ric......er, knife scale...

I don't know if Frank and Sterling Buster are having any new knives made.....or maybe just turning over older models. They do have an antique store (Cuz's Antiques) in Tenn. and do some business through the store, as well as the eBay store.

Hope that helps some.

Thanks Bill, 7.5 sounds pretty good, especially coming from you. I think I'll pick one up and try it on for size.

I've got my eye on a stag sowbelly.
