Yeah - I know you guys've seen these before.........but in lill ol' Engerland, we don't get exposure to as many glorious sharps as you folk, so there's three of us here enjoying and celebrating this'un...


Andre de Villiers - what a gent, what a superquick gent.

A gentle to-ing and fro-ing by email and a nice chinwag on the phone, and hey presto - three very happy guys in UK.

I am not a tactical folder person, however, when first clapping eyes on The Butcher, you got to admit, it is a bit different.

Dressed and dripping in all fitments in Ti, this is a beauty.

Don't know how he's done it, but the matt and polished effect is really stunning.

Precision, centred blade, smoothness - they're all there too.

Thank you very much, Andre - you were a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to future models.

Just a few quick iPhone pics...

Congrats on the score and thank you for the beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing!
 
Even though I really don't like the blade shape, these folders do look absolutely magnificent. I'd love to own one. AdV is clearly a master craftsman. :thumbup:
 
I like the blades and design while open, but whenever I see a butcher closed, it seems to stick out too far... I think I'd rather have a fixed blade in that design, or a narrower blade so that it closes in a straight line instead of a triangle shape (hopefully that made sense).
 
Awesome Chui!!! Welcome to the Butchery ... glad all went well with the acquisition.

Fantastic knives! Beautiful. Could I request a pic of one in the pocket? Is it terribly bulky? Thanks. May have to add to the want list.

Terry - not bulky really. They're only 13mm (1/2") thick - and, with all Ti construction, surprisingly light for their looks.

Will try an in-pocket pic later...

Good info. Thanks. If you can get a shot of it in the pocket that would be great. Thanks.
 
I love the steampunk look! The fuller and guard hole remind me of half a TGLB, while the fuller running out the front reminds me of a brous blade, terrific piece! I'm sure it 'a a fantastic cutter too, well done!
 
Wild looking. Wouldn't be out of place on the Nostromo. I like these
