Fight n Rooster 1987 Pearl Lockback Whittler Mississippi On My Mind 1 of 100 CL29421

The Fight’n Rooster 1987 Pearl Lockback Whittler “Mississippi on My Mind” is the kind of knife that reminds collectors why vintage pocketknives continue to hold such a strong place in the world of traditional cutlery. Produced by Frank Buster’s celebrated Fight’N Rooster brand and crafted in Solingen, Germany, this rare commemorative piece showcases the exceptional workmanship and premium materials that made Fight’N Rooster knives highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Measuring approximately 3 3/4 inches closed, this classic whittler pattern combines elegant styling with practical versatility. The three-blade configuration features a master clip point blade with a secure lockback mechanism, offering dependable strength and confidence during use. Complementing the main blade are two secondary utility blades—a pen blade and a coping blade—making this knife well-equipped for detailed cutting tasks, carving, and everyday utility work. Whether displayed in a collection or carried on special occasions, the traditional whittler design remains one of the most respected patterns ever produced.

What truly sets this knife apart is its extraordinary presentation. The handles are crafted from genuine high-grade Mother of Pearl, creating a luminous, iridescent appearance that shifts beautifully as it catches the light. Brass pins secure the scales, while polished nickel-silver bolsters provide a refined contrast and add lasting durability. The result is a pocketknife that feels every bit as impressive as it looks.

Adding to its desirability is the knife’s commemorative status. Released in 1987 as the special “Mississippi on My Mind” edition, each example was produced in an extremely limited run of only 100 pieces. The master blade is etched “1 of 100,” highlighting the exclusivity of this collectible release. The iconic Fight’N Rooster tang stamp, featuring the famous fighting roosters logo, serves as a mark of authenticity and a reminder of the brand’s reputation for quality German craftsmanship.

For collectors of vintage pocketknives, traditional whittlers, or Frank Buster-era Fight’N Rooster cutlery, this knife represents a rare opportunity to own a highly limited commemorative piece from one of the most respected names in classic knife making. Its combination of rarity, premium Mother of Pearl construction, and timeless Solingen craftsmanship makes it a standout addition to any serious collection.
