Distasteful or not

[Ironkid883]

Hey to all on bf .i was recently on medfords site and did the college thing .so now i get a centurion thingy .ok so i got an e mail yesterday about an upcomin centurion offer on a knife ...ok.
Then i get another mail sayin it goes live tonight wont be buyin it either way i just thought the name of it was a bit ott.
"Suicide swift "isnt a great name for anything with an edge on it well in my opinion thats like bringing out a paracord company or rope company with the name hang em high .?!
Am i overreacting ?
Input appreciated

Most Medfords designs are distasteful, so I wouldnt be surprised, if they have unpleasent names as well.

Maybe it's a cry for help?

Seriously though, it's really not the kind of marketing that the knife industry needs.
Like mall ninja super assassin marketing isn't bad enough?

Dumb name I don’t like hardly any names of Medford’s. Like the original flagship “praetorian” anyone that knows their history wouldn’t name anything after them.

Nah it's worse than a lot of other names. And counter productive when it comes to police interaction. "Why do you have a knife?" For work. "Why is it named Stab Killer Deluxe?" Ehhh. Just a name?

Agreed. Just an opinion though. People like what they like, I know I do. Unreadable punctuation and sentence syntax I also find distasteful though. Others may not. Just an opinion...

I would have voted for the name being “Ott” if it had been an option.

Why does every Irishman say they are direct descendants of the seven kings of Ireland? I am positive I am though...

 

[jbmonkey]

dumb name I agree, but I also think you're over reaching/overreacting. it's only offensive if you let it be.

 

[microbe]

Medford just added the emo crowd to his target demographic

i cannot tell why it would be faster with that knife versus any other lol. let it ride.

Irish Families are "really close" ?

See I have documented family history back to 898 AD but no royalty

Reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy joke: You know you're a redneck when you go to family reunions to pick up girls.

Can't "like" this enough, not just this issue, but almost always.

 

[specgrade]

Sounds like a name for a hardcore/deathcore metal band.

 

[slyraven]

Not only is it distasteful, its just plain dumb. A tad irresponsible as well. Is it offensive? Not to me, but I'm sure to many, however not a lot of them would be knife enthusiats...I'm sure it would just be random people scoffing at the name and bringing it up to their congressmen lol

"No Officer, it's not that bad of a name. You should see the names of all the other items in my BTK Starter Package."

Also think Microtech's "Death On Contact - Killswitch" was just plain Stoooopid.

Maybe he could name his next model the "Overdose-Oops".
