About the Engraver:
Martin Butler has been engraving since the age of 15 when he started an apprenticeship engraving sporting firearms for Webley & Scott in England. Since then he has developed his art, specializing in embellishing fine art knives. With his traditional engraving skills as a foundation, Martin was one of the pioneers in the world of art knives, working with top makers to create masterpieces of weaponry that are far too valuable to ever be used for anything other than sheer appreciation. Both the appreciation of the artists' skills and the appreciation in the value of his pieces makes Martin Butler's engraved art a rare and valuable asset for any collector or purveyor of fine knives.
