> [@DrAwesome](#): > > So I know the Mr. Butcher was designed for 5a and all but is it still a well balanced 1a throw? I’m lookin towards it as my first YYR. I feel like it’s just as an amazing throw for 1A. Do not hesitate on the Señior Butcher, it’s an amazing throw. ---

> [@Pineapple\_Jumpsuit](#): > > Okay, I have a question. > Sleipnir and blink (both a-) > Or > Draupnir > Or > Sleipnir and triad. I would also suggest going with the Draupnir. Whilst the Sleipnir and Blink are both stellar yoyos, the Draupnir really is something pretty unique. I haven’t really played much like it, and I’m sure I echo the statements of many when I say that it’s one of the greatest yoyos I’ve ever thrown. I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to get my hands on one if it is within your means. Quick question, were the red/blue/black Draups blasted, or just ano’d? ---

I don’t believe you have a knockoff Mr. butcher considering to my knowledge they never made knockoffs of that yoyo. Only yoyos they made knockoffs are: stargazer, overdrive, messiah, sleipnir, and the clash. The company that was making the knockoffs stopped making them a while ago so none of their more recent aluminum models like the mr. butcher were made. What makes you believe it is a knockoff? ---

The engravings arent even engravings, they are silk screened on, Its really obvious if you look at it. I contacted the guy i traded it with, and we are trading back… Sigh… I really wanted a real one. ---
