Stompy,
Are you aka Ghost of Stompy? Anyways I didn't like MacGyver either. My wife watches the reruns every chance she gets. Richard Dean Anderson is in SG-1 now and he carries an MP-5 or M-16 with, I believe, some knives supplied by Mike Turber. I'll have to watch an episode to see what they have

Nope, haven't named a single one.

What? Another knife? Don't you have enough of those things already?
How many does one person need?

Stompy and everyone, in one of the earliest (it might have been the first!) episodes of MacGyver, he ambushed a group of guerillas and shot at them (didn't hit, I guess he did that on purpose) with an AK-47 he found or took from a guard, can't remember.
Haven't named any knives yet, but I named my answering machine "Maarit" (or "Mary).

Two important questions in life:
Do they have a catalog?
Did you know there's a town called "Batman" in Turkey?

Yep...name 'em all. and i also hafta agree with...whoever said they name themselves. They speak to me.
It's also really fun when i'm with a couple friends and those who don't know me...and we start talking about if i brought gwendolyn or oscar, or ambrosius or whatnot with me...it's just hilarious
...or if i'm going to somewhere that's full of cops...i have some friends that work with 'em that'll let me know to be careful and hide all the 'buddies' i have on me.

Well, I must ammend my previous post. My newest menber is named "Stubby". He is a 20 inch 4 pound Himalayan Imports Khukuri. Due date is Wednesday, Aug 11, 1999. So far he is the only one named though.

And just what are you going to do with this one that you can't do with the others?
What is the purpose of all these knives anyhow??

Ok, I know McGuyver was anti-gun, but you have to admit it's a more believable way to avoided people getting shot and killed on tv than the A-Team. At least 1000 rounds of ammo was expended per episode and no one ever seemed to get hit. I personally liked both shows. I never claimed to have good taste
.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with people being shot on tv (notice the Miami Vice reference in the previous post).
Sorry, back to the topic.

Hello,
I give also name to my knives...
My last one is a Starmate number 773.
It's the number of the USS Cheyenne, Submarine of the Los Angeles Class, so I called it "Cheyenne".
Most of my knives are named by my wife.
My SHarpfinger, now owned by Blues is named "Mr Worf" !
Cheers,
JM

I named my new Dalton Serpent "Gaboon" after the famed Gaboon Viper. A very beautiful, yet extremely toxic snake. Although it can be very deadly if harassed, it seldom, if ever bites a man. That is what Gaboon should do. Never bite unless forced to. And its a beauty!
Wow! Those curves~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey STOMPY,
How about that "Circumsizer"....yeeeEEEOOWW!!!!!! What a great name for a k nife.
I wonder if OB Drs. name their scalpels too? That Lacerator is a good one too. Reminds me of my ol dog I named, Slasher. It was either that or FeFe. He was a good attack dog. Was good to everyone, but if McGuyver walked into my yard, he'd wished he had a gun or knife or something that wimps don't carry when ol Yeller, I mean Slasher came a runnin.

I have a pair of 5.5" AlMar megafolders (QuicksilverV or some catalogs called them "Jumbos") and whichever one is on me is referred to as "Big Al".
My CSVG is referred to as "the Vaq"...not real original, but...oh well.
Then there's The Outsider...it was quite proper to name him, as I was the main designer.
"Baby" is a 4shot .22Magnum 1.5" barrel minirevolver by Freedom Arms before they got out of the mousecannon biz. I'm real fond of my NAA Minimaster 4" barrel .22Mag/.22LR convertable known as "Long Shot" - no other deep cover mousegun I know of can reliably hit canteloupes at 25 yards. Never named my .38Spl snubbie, I guess because the general type is so common it didn't..."feel right". Weird. Might be related to the DA trigger...SA revolvers are what I really *enjoy* shooting, I've got a Blackhawk .357 coming.
