Vintage Frank Buster Fight’n Rooster “As the World Turns” Folding Knife – Rare EtchVintage Frank Buster Fight’n Rooster traditional folding knife featuring the unusual “As the World Turns” etch on the main blade.Frank Buster knives are highly regarded among collectors of vintage German-made traditional knives. Buster was instrumental in developing the Fight’n Rooster brand and became particularly well known for producing limited-edition, commemorative, regional, and knife-club knives, many of which featured distinctive master-blade etching.This example is especially interesting because of the uncommon “As the World Turns” master-blade etch. I have not found a readily available public reference documenting this exact variation, so the precise production quantity and original purpose of this particular issue are not confirmed. Given Buster’s history of producing small-run specialty and commemorative knives, this appears to be an unusual and potentially scarce variation.Fight’n Rooster knives were manufactured in Solingen, Germany, by the Friedrich Olbertz factory for Frank Buster. The brand was known for quality traditional patterns, attractive handle materials, elaborate blade etching, and numerous limited-production variations. The major reference work on the brand is Jim Parker’s 1994 book, “Fight’n Rooster Knives: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,” which documents hundreds of individual variations.CONDITION:Excellent vintage condition overall.The knife shows only minor evidence of handling and storage, including very light surface scratches and occasional small scuffs consistent with normal vintage use. The blades remain attractive and present very well.There are two small irregular scratches of moderate depth located near one another on one bolster. These are noted specifically for accuracy and are visible in the photographs.Please examine all photos carefully for the best representation of the knife’s condition.A very interesting vintage Fight’n Rooster for the collector of Frank Buster knives, German-made traditional folders, unusual blade etches, commemorative knives, and scarce variations.
