Now that lots of acronyms are showing up, I'll start collecting them in a Word doc that can be easily alphabetized.

Aahh, that's the link I was trying to find. Good job.

Nasty - could we compile a list and make it a sticky?

I'm pretty sure I started one of these threads a little while after joining. Here's a few to chew on:

FF - foxy folly (fox's folly)
MCC - Munk Chunk Cleaver (cobalt cleaver)
GRS - Ganga Ram Special
BGRS - baby GRS
AK - Ang Khola
Chit - Chitlangi
Siru - Sirupate
YCS - Yvsa Cherokee Special ( Not to be confused with the Cherokee Rose, which is a different beast entirely)
PK - Pen Knife ( named for Pendentive AKA D. Koster)
BWB - Bob White Bolo (now often called the HI Bolo)
BAS - British Army Service
WWII - I hope this doesn't need explanation


I'm sure others can think of a few I've missed.

BAS-also known as British Army Standard

Lest we forget the MZKS and the HKSS.

The Montana Zombie Killer Special and the Himalayan Kosher Salami Slicer. Very rare models, and highly sought after. (No pictures available.)

UBE = Uncle Bill Especial

Keep 'em coming. I'll try to get together an initial list by the weekend.

I also think that the model list in the linked thread is valuable, even if some of those knives just have names instead of acronyms.

This is history, and has been replaced by YBB, but UBBB = Uncle Bill's Best Buy. You'll see a LOT of that in past threads.

Also historical are:
PGA = Pala's Give Away
UTDOTD = Uncle Bill's Deal(s) of the day

MM- Movie Model and/or Museum Model.

JKM- small tough fixed blade named for late forumite James K. Mattis..

Sarge/KPH- Kismet Practical Hunter- Jake nicknamed the Sarge knife that, I like it better.

and is it Trishul or Trisul? Either way, HI's boot dagger- provided you got long legs.

GS- Gelbu Special
Rusty SD- Sgian Dubh
M43- M43
a V at the beginning or end means villager, which just means raw finished.

those busse acronyms are way worse. FSSHSHSJLE? that looks like a cussword. satin sterile sacred skeleton street heart jack fusion limited edition...i bet that knife exists somewhere deep in the dreams of some wealthy busse collector. prolly costs a house.
