The Butcher by Andre de Villiers
If Arnold Schwarzenegger was made famous by "The Terminator," then knifemaker Andre de Villiers found his fame with "The Butcher." The Butcher flipper has become the signature piece of this talented South African knife maker. Unsurprisingly — this powerful, brutal profile is hard to mistake for anything else.
The blade shape is ideally suited for straight cuts. It's perfect for chopping branches or digging a pit for a campfire. The wide fuller not only reduces weight but also adds a sense of speed to the form. The blade finish is also remarkably stylish — a black DLC coating with a stonewash treatment. The blade material is high-alloy American S35VN steel, which holds an edge well and offers excellent corrosion resistance.
The Butcher 2014 Green/Black features a vibrant green on the anodized titanium scales, contrasted with a black G10 weave — a material exceptionally resistant to external wear. The wide pocket clip securely holds the flipper in place.
