A Guys Name On The Knife :barf:

cutlerylover said:
LOL, funny thread...The name on the knife shows whos design it is...like it has already been said its not only "props" lol to whomever designed it but its kind of like advertisement...I guess some people like custom knives, but can't afford them so they will maybe get a design from their favorite maker that a production company makes...Its an interesting view though...and Im not sure how it would look polished off unless you polish the whole blade....

Does anyone have experience polishing names off one side of the name with semichrome? How long does it take?

Yeah Semichrome, that's the ticket. Don't listen to Ebbtide with 220 grit sandpaper. Semichrome and a nice soft rag is what you want. A couple of minutes and that Mel guy's name should be gone. Come back when you're done Sog and let us know how you like it. :rolleyes:

Mel can be a girls name, does anyone remember Mel Harris (Hope Steadman on Thirty Something)? I sure do because before Mel started acting she used to model for me when I was a photographer at Gimbels. She was my Bra & Panties model for a couple of years. Beautiful girl and boy could she fill a bra, if you know what I mean. :cool:

Mel's the one in the middle holding the baby. That's going to be one well fed baby.

I have a knife that says Krein on it and another on order. I don't have one that says Mayo but would sure like to. I dont have it anymore but once had one that said Pardue on it. You could cover it with duct tape if it bothers you. Oh yes, Pardue is a rather famous knife maker.

Krein is a family name. Perhaps it was designed by Judy (for example) Krein.

are your knives for cutting, or reading. my opinion is that you let 3 good knives slip by. Anyway i doubt that the average person knows or cares whose name or what brand of knife you carry .

No one reads the writing on my knife while i am using. I am the one thats gotta look at the knife every time i use it.

Perhaps you'd like it better if there was a girl's name on the knife. lol

Sure Pamala Anderson can put her name on my knife anyday. Or J Lo, Shakira, etc.

Obviously there is a bit of a question mark as to if this bothers people or not when a name or logo is smeared all across the blade of the knife they carry. If you guys think that people don't mind and that those of us that think they do are wrong maybe we should start a survey and ask John Q. Public what he thinks. And I don't mean a survey like that one that Blade Magazine did where guys cleared their cookies and voted ten times each to slant the results. I mean an unbiased clean survey to find out; "Do you mind writing on the blades you buy?" Yes or No. For the survey we shoud elaborate some to get an idea of where John Q. draws the line also.

Personally I can't see how anyone can believe that a signiture, name or logo that takes away attention from their product is a good thing. When the signiture or logo stands out more than the product itself its not a good thing IMO. This coming from a guy with major marketing and sales backgrounds. I don't think sacrificing sales and profits to satisfy someone's ego is a good idea.

Quite right! The first thing i look at is design then i go for the jugular to see what steel it is made of. Then i find that it got the designer guys name plastered on it but no designation of the steel. :confused:

You know I get where this guy is coming from . It is not the fact that the name is on the knife . It is the difference between a full name and a family name .

A full name can intone personal ownership . A family name is a little more like a brand . Sure it could mean personal ownership . It is more generally accepted to mean " Maker " .

I have this neat silver throwing knife . Clean lines and a mirror finish .
The guy who owned the flipping knife before me engraved his initials in huge sloppy deep dots . You couldn,t polish these things off with a chisel .

OWNERSHIP ? i have something that guy is going to own if I ever catch up to him .:( :( :( :D

Exatamundo If i lay down bucks for some steel that means i own it not Mel, Tom, Dick or Harry.

looks like some baggage here... major issues... hidden in the closet


...not that theres anything wrong with that:D


But seriously, if it bothers you that much (and i think it does), it shouldnt matter how much effort it would take to grind, sand or blast it off. get that man's name off.


then go to the bar, find Jane Doe, take her home and tap that s#!t:D
