I guess this one's for Sal, really.

Is there any chance of us seeing a run of Yojimbo's without the name on the blade?

Since this model has been intended to be as low profile and legal as possible, I thought that there might be a bit of a market for 'unmarked' knives.

I guess you have to be Japanese, a Spydie fan, a Japanese movie (or just Kurosawa) buff, or perhaps a Japanese MA enthuisiast to know what the word means, so I don't know how much of a real difference it would make with a police officer if I ever ended up in court with it.

I have a Black Yo' on the way, but I would certainly feel more comfortable carrying it on a day to day basis if it didn't have "Bodyguard" splashed across the blade.

Alternatively, can anyone suggest how easy/difficult it would be to polish out the etch?
 
No, no u are reading it the wrong way, the real knife name is "YO JIMBO, WHAS UP" (handshake, handshake) ?!, but because of the limited size they just agreed on putting yojimbo on it. :D
