Do you live on a street with a blade related name?

Well, I don't. My street is called Post Oak because, well, we have a few of those trees on it. However, on my way into the office, I always pass a neighborhood street called "Dull Knife Drive". I feel for any knifenut that lives on that street. Y'all live or have any other blade related street names in your town?
 
Its kinda close. Theres a road near by called Voltz Rd. Kinda close to the Kershaw Volt I guess.. Theres huge houses down that street too!
 
I'm on Carver

Not bad, although I'd never thought of it in those terms before :)
 
I know where that's at. Right off of Duval.
There are a bunch of Indian themed name streets around there. Spotted Horse, Blackhawk etc..

I drove by there maybe a month ago on my way between Research and Mopac.
 
In Fresno, CA... I live a few miles from Emerson (street). I've thought about stealing one of the signs for years. Lot more original than stealing the (constantly replaced) Road 420 sign near Coarsegold/Oakhurst.
 
There is a Buck street and a Becker street near me. Thats about as close as I can get.

There is a Congress street in Detroit but thats a stretch.

There is a city named Bad Axe here in MI.
 
There is a street called Benchmave (it always reminds me of Benchmade) a couple of blocks down the road. That's as close as I can get.

Being that you're an Austinite (I'm just outside Austin), I'm sure you've seen this one, not quite knife-related, but raised my eyebrows when I first saw it:

Slaughter Lane

This name originated from the surname of one of the earliest settlers to the Austin/Travis County area.
 
There's an area in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where quite a few places are named after blades.
Jalan... Direct translation means "walk"

Jalan Badek (short sword)

Jalan Pedang (long sword)

Jalan Panah (arrow)
Jalan Tombak (spear)
Jalan Kerambit (you're a knife geek, no explanations needed)
Jalan Beladau... Couldn't find a decent pic of this traditional blade.

ETA... This is in Telok Panglima Garang, direct translation Cape of Fierce Warrior/ Admiral...
