I dont believe this is fake, maybe more like B-grade? From my Chinese sources, there were no fakes of newer YYR models. ---

Depending on websites I found the Mr Butcher to weigh between 66 and 68g, sounds legit, just a B-grade as Bìna said ---

well, I can’t help more on this one, given I’ve just briefly tried the MrButcher once I hope you can figure this out, you could create a topic asking to Mr Butcher owners if anyone have the same issue, you may find people that don’t necessarily read this thread ---

As many of us have stated there aren’t knockoffs of that model. At worst it could be a bgrade but it’s a real deal. Also your scale could be not super accurate and that could be the weight issue. Maybe posting a clearer picture in better lighting can help. ---

Thanks. > > vegabomb The link I removed did indeed lead to a bootleg Mr. Butcher. I believe the one pictured in this thread is fake. The off center engravings were a tell tale sign of the fakes. ---

I still believe it is some sort of bgrade. A better picture would help a lot. I mainly want to see the color in better lighting. ---

I don’t believe it’s a fake. On another site that sells yo-yos, _cough_ worldwide _cough_ the picture of the Mr. Butcher has off center engravings. ---

Ok, everything aside I need some help from someone knowledgeable, I just found a picture of a mr. Butcher that looks exactly the same, right down to the engravings. If someone would be able to PM me that is willing to answer some questions for me, please do. Sorry for posting the link, I did not really see another way… I do understand that this is a site that is owned by a yoyo store. Thanks.
