Backup Tactical and ADV Tactical have joined forces once again for a release that combines the respected knife heritage of Andre DeVillers with functional upgrades from the mind of Jason over at Backup Tactical. The new Fat Butcher, an Out The Front version of Andre DeVilliers’ classic Butcher design, is now available in Black, with more colors on the way and new unique features like a removable D-ring, and an upgradeable tritium insert slot for some low-light functionality.

The Fat Butcher Knife: Backup Tactical’s Latest OTF EDC Blade
Backup Tactical Corp. is excited to announce our 2nd Out The Front Knife collaboration with ADV Tactical (Andre DeVilliers), The FAT Butcher is available now in Black, with more colors in a few weeks. It is nothing less than the first OTF version of Andre’s classic Butcher design that took his career in the knife industry to the next level.
This knife has some new features that we are very proud of. It has a very grippy titanium button to open and close the knife with a cut in it for a tritium tube insert so you can see the button in the dark. Tritium inserts will be available on the website soon.
It also has Andre’s famous titanium roller pocket clip for easy removal and insertion into your pocket. The difference is this pocket clip has a removable D ring that allows you to attach a lanyard or anything else you may want.
Compared to our last collaboration, The Stinger, the Glass Breaker on the Fat Butcher is a small and sleeker affair that is also removable.
We expect this first run to move very quickly at $399.99 with Free Shipping and no Sales tax Outside of Florida.
In a market full of new blades, this collaboration delivers both credibility and practicality. If gear that endures in the wild matters at all to you, the FAT Butcher is worth a serious look if you’re considering an OTF knife and are already burnt out on Microtech blades. Let us know if you score one for your pack. For more gear details and other Backup Tactical products like compensators, barrels, and magazine extensions, check out backuptactical.com.
