Butcher's Knife — common questions
When was Butcher's Knife last in the item shop?
Butcher's Knife has no recorded item shop day since 30 October 2017. Items from a Battle Pass, a quest or a promotion are not sold in the shop, and new items may not have been released yet.
How much does Butcher's Knife cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Butcher's Knife. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this pickaxe hasn't.
Can you still get Butcher's Knife?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given pickaxe falls into.
What set is Butcher's Knife part of?
Butcher's Knife is part of the Meat Maestro set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
