Do you have names for you knives like you do with your car or boat?

I have three that I use for EDC.

My Protech Runt is named "Lucy".

My go out to dinner gent Benchmade 3200 auto is named "Patty".

And my big hooter Spyderco Military with CF scales is named "Dolly".

Do you have names for your favorite knives?

Oh yes, my Leatherman is named, "now where did I put that SOB".
 
well, although I usually enjoy those somewhat loony questions about our stange knife-habits, that one seems really uncommon :D

My answer is no.
I mean, for the moment: who knows how far will go my knifaddiction. ;)


EDIT : nice name for your Leatherman :D
 
Years ago, my Brother nicknamed my Gerber MKII, "Whispering Death". :rolleyes: He still calls it that too. What can I say, he's a wannabe Mall Ninja. :)
 
Very early on, my Dozier K-4 let me know that her name is Doris. She has a terrible jealousy problem when other fixed blades are in close proximity. She once ate a Blackjack just for looking at me.

My BG-42 Buck 110 earned its name of “The Angry Beaver”, one day while carving a hiking stick. The name was later inscribed on the blade.

No specific names, just generalizations. I call the knife in my front pocket, "My Knife", and the one in my back pocket, "My Other Knife". That way I don't have to waste any of my failing memory on more names.

It's hell gettin' old.

To me, a guy who give a name to his knife, gun, guitar, whatever is the kind of guy who give a name to his genitals too :P
 
Well, I don't name my knives, and I haven't named my gentlmen, but my Jones Brothers Magik Mushroom is named "Papa Smurf." Does that count?
 
Maybe names are more common overseas. Ireland, Australia, etc. Heck I bet they even have some songs about their wickedly sharp blades in some of those pubs.
 
I gotta' custom Bowie with a carbon spot on the spine I call Freckle and a Curly Maple handled one(American as heck)that I call Andy,after Andy Griffith.:cool:

Doug
Am I whacked? :confused:
It was more of a rhetorical question so no need to answer. :D

lol, i'm with ya.
None of the inanimate objects in my possession have names. As for the others, well, let's not go there (wrong forum to discuss that stuff).
 
Some of mine do,
my Zambezi is called "Mad Cow" because i was told the owner of Timberline comes from Alberta.

I have an old, crappy steel, glued on rubber gripped, folding, bar fighting shank that i call Lucky- i don't know why, it just fits.

Upon reading this thread i have began trying to think of a name for my Buck 110.
 
Good names. Heck if you can name your boat and your car and your dog and your kids why not name your knives and guns?

That my exgirlfriends nickname too.

Once I had a knife named bob. Bob had bitch tits, then he got shot. I was crushed. I don't name any of my knives so I don't feel so bad when I lose or destroy them. which happens with alarming frequency(native's missing, magnum blew to pieces, second scallion's AWOL)

I did name my leatherman telsa though on account of the shock it gave me when I was fixing a cable that I thought was cold.
 
I have a Swamp Rat Battle Rat I use as a camp knife that everybody calls Ol' Nasty... None of us can seem to remember how, or who, came up with the name. :D
 
So far, their 'Christian' names have been good enough for me -
Chive/Scallion/Leek are actually quite playful in themselves;
and the occasional diminutives are obvious (Seb/Sebbie etc.)
but who knows where hoplomania is gonna take me :)
