KA Custom Super Butcher

Dave's Super Butcher (or super BtB-f) is a stretched variation of the original BtB-f design. It is 1.5" longer, with half of that being in the frame and half in blade length. Giving the super butcher a 3.5" long blade, without enlarging any other dimensions. The result is a longer folding butcher with the perception of also being thinner.

This particular folder is constructed as a 6al4V Titanium frame-lock, utilizing a Ti pivot collar as both a lock-bar stabilizer and over-travel stop. A nice rounded CC'd contour was hand applied to the frame, making it extremely comfortable in both the hand and the pocket. A wire wheeled satin orange peeled finish adds both a classy yet extremely durable finish to all the titanium. The blade is construced of hand hollow ground Swedish RWL-34 stainless, and it wears a clean an utilitarian scotch brite satin finish.

Solid Ti backspacer and billet Titanium clip finish things off nicely. The clip was inspired by Dave's vintage ukulele collection and was meant to mimic the head stock design found in many of the Hawaiian Uke designs.

Blade rides smoothly on phosphor bronze washers around a stainless and titanium Steve Kelly pivot. Lock up is firm at 25% on face with a clean and crisp release. Lock-face has been carbidized for longevity. All hardware is either stainless or satin finished titanium.
