Acquiring Butch's Toothpick violence free:

I did this after the Trouble on the Home front quest and when Butch is found shortly after in the Muddy Rudder. Since he has his unique switchblade equipped it's tough to retrieve with out starting a fight. He also carries a 10mm gun with ammo that he does not have equipped initially. This is how i did it:

-Pickpocket the 10mm gun leave the ammo.

-Leave the Muddy Rudder, turn around and re-enter. Appears that nothings happened, well it hasn't kind've.

-Re-verse pickpocket the gun back onto him. Then for me literally he sat down almost instantly and the gun was suddenly equipped. You might have to leave and come back again.

-pickpocket him again and voila, Butchs toothpick now available.

No fighting, no injuring anyone (as I try to keep as many NPC's alive on my good karma character) just a quick unique item acquisition. This came about after about an hour of trying to shoot it from his hand, reverse pickpocketing a fully repaired switchblade etc. When i realized he wasn't using his gun since i grabbed that from him before, it's when i put it back that the blade was now available. To actually do it this way was about 5 minutes maybe.
