Very nice job. I really like Fight'n Rooster. I have recently looked at several on Ebay that were clearly outgassing: it is depressing to see such fine knives self destructing and still being offered for sale to the unwary. It is great to see that yours was saved!

Thanks Jeff.
Dinadan the blades in Fighting roosters are great but in my experience the rest of the knife was made on th cheap. Liners are very thin and bolsters like to come off for no apparent reason.one of my least favorites to work on because of this.

That is a GREAT choice of bone, Bighead. It has a very classic look, is hafted well, and nearly glows! I will bet it is even more stunning in person.

Nice save! I have replaced handles on a lot of Fighting Roosters, their celluloid seems to be particularly unstable.

That bone looks great on that knife! Great choice and nicely executed! ::tu::

That looks great. Too bad Frank Buster didn’t use that originally. What fantastic handles.
