I think that the Butcher really, really, really, really, REALLY needs to be a hand-and-a-half (bastard) sword.

since 1.5 swords got 25% less dmg if they are wielded with a shield 56*.75= 42 Steel Cutter is better 1h
and 1.5 weps are also slower when using as a 1h weapon, so it would be probably worser than the steel sword with 1hand use

Fixed.
and..
So what? Those points are only relevant when using it 1h and for the bonus of being able to pull out a shield, I think the tradeoff of 3 damage less than cutter is perfectly fine and keeps it from being OP while being much more fun and versatile to use.
Plus it would look totally beast!
Kinda mixed looking on the poll lol I guess we will just wait and see what the devs have in store

Same as a one and a half hand fishing rod, it can be used with one or two hands, but not perfect for either.
