Martin Butler at The Canadian Knifemakers Guild show in Toronto

[Barry Lee Hands]

I ran into Martin Butler at the show in Toronto, and he had a knife, and in the Photo below, he explains his ideas for engraving it.
Martin has a unique style, and its hard to find any of his work on the market as it has been sucked up by collectors quickly.




here are some links to his work:

I haven't heard nor seen Martin in years. I'm glad to see he's still doing beautiful engraving. Thanks for the links to the pics...beautiful Lake knife he did.

Hi Sam,
It was the first time we had met, and he is a very nice man. I was delighted to meet him.

Mr. Butlers work is certainly first class and of varied style. All done to the highest order. I had not heard of him but will look for his work at the various top of the line knife sellers web sites from now on. Thanks for sharing. Fred

Barry,

I did not know that you were in Toronto; I wanted to meet you. May be next time. How can I find Martin, does he have a website?

Thank you for posting a picture and some information.
