Fight’n Rooster Tennessee 1994• 1 Of 300 “Prototype” •Lg Toothpick Knife•Germany For Sale

—

Offered here is a striking and uncommon Fight’n Rooster Tennessee commemorative knife, produced in 1994 during the later years of the Frank Buster era and limited to just 1 of 300 pieces.

This knife features a sleek, large toothpick pattern measuring 5” closed…giving it that long, elegant profile collectors love. The blade is beautifully etched with “Tennessee 1994” and bears a “Prototype” stamp, adding an extra layer of intrigue and collectibility.

The handles are a unique multi-color composite—very eye-catching and not something you see every day on standard production runs.

Please examine photos as part of the description. Retains factory edge with good snap. Minor bolster scuffing and light tarnish present.

Notable for the unique placement of the “Prototype” marking. Knives from the later Frank Buster & Sons era are well known for creative and sometimes unusual limited runs.

While I do believe this marking to be factory applied, I would not personally categorize this in the same tier as earlier true “prototype” examples from the Buster era, which tend to be more scarce.
