He was truly a legend. The almar-butch serre automatic has always been a knife I wanted to add to my collection. You are a very lucky person. I wish you hadn't sold. If you find one, definitely get one.

I have three Spyderco Vallottons, two converted by Butch, one (by his son?) after he passed, RIP. I remember, I paid less for any of them, than for a new XM18 back then. Compared to Hinderers, they are sisters from another mother anyways - _love_ them.
 
I did the unthinkable yesterday: I used my prized Endura in 20CV like an average, non-knife-nut person. Which is to say I used it like a fool and paid the price.

I needed to add some weep holes to a tin pot I was using to re-plant my Thai chilies. All I had on me was my Endura, so I stabbed the pot, heard a light crinkling sound, and discovered chips out of the edge. I'm a little surprised at how chippy the steel was, i expected a little rolling, however the damage was 100% my fault. So, until I have time to sharpen out the chips, I chose to carry a different Spyder with a steel renowned for its toughness.

Edit to add: I definitely applied some lateral pressure when I wiggled the blade out of the tin, which is probably responsible for most of the damage. Again, 100% my fault.
