Fight'n Rooster Whittler
Fight'n Rooster Whittler
I just got this Wheeler Basin Knife Club whittler. I have been keeping an eye out for a Fight'n Rooster in this pattern. Most of them seem to have MOP covers, and while I have nothing against MOP, it just does not especially appeal to me. So I was happy to spot this one, and the fact that the Wheeler Basin is in my state was an added bonus. The date is a bit hard to see, but it says 1983 on the blade. I included a couple of photos of the Rooster with my Case Seahorse just for comparison. Both have the very thick master blade. By the way, anyone know if there is a specific term for this Rooster's main blade? Seems to be exactly half way between a hawkbill and a wharncliffe.

Frank called it a Cotton Sampler blade, 1 of 150. Sweet knife!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I guess it does look like some of the cotton sampler blades that I have seen. I did not think of that: thanks.1967redrider wrote:Frank called it a Cotton Sampler blade, 1 of 150. Sweet knife!

Re: Fight'n Rooster Whittler
Thanks for the kind words, fellows. I am kind of new to this collecting thing, but when I saw a photo of that pattern I just liked the way it looked, and now that I have one I like it even better. This is my first Fight'n Rooster: probably first of several. One thing that impresses me is the walk and talk. I know this is an old knife so the newer ones may be different, but the amount of force required to open the blades, and the snap is just about perfect.
