Eyebrow raising names in knife industry

[not2sharp]

About knives that I own - the most special would be Candiru (just google that little fish). But it at least wouldn't be associated with violence.

But other names that I find standing out would be:
Counter terrorism knife
Taliban takedown
Hoodlum
Warcraft Tanto
RazorTek
Mayhem
Street scalpel
Bartender defender

IMO those are names that can be associated with either violence or just sound like something mall ninja...

What are in your opinions the names standing out?

A rose by any other name…..

N2s

So there I was: peeling a peach with my, "Gut Remover XXL tanto"...
Did the peach care what it was called?

 

[Skar]

The names don’t bother me.
It’s nice to reference what you own or want to own by a name rather than a set of numbers.

LEO: What's this knife you were brandishing in what you claim was self defense?
You: A Smooth Criminal.

Fun fact...ANTI Terrorism is defensive measures, COUNTER terrorism is offensive measures. So one would not be actively fighting terrorists with an Anti Terrorism knife. Both are ridiculous names for a knife and exceedingly mall-ninjaish.

Imagine carrying TOPS Anti Terrorism knife and someone asks you what knife are you carrying?

And then they ask you what terrorism are you fighting with it and how?

You'll probs feel silly...

I've claimed for years that the Spyderco Ladybug is the ideal self defense knife for me, ymmv.

First, the name is totally innocuous = not much a jury or prosecutor can do with "The Ladybug."

Second, but most importantly, when the bad guy whom I'm defending against disarms my ancient, crotchety, decrepit a** I have a smaller chance of getting fatally stabbed by my own "self defense" blade turned against me.

I always smiled at the REKAT Pocket Hobbit name for their knife. Imagine being a date and the other person needs to cut something. You being the hero says, “hold on and let me pull out my Pocket Hobbit.”

Tom Mayo Doctor Death.

 

[LostCause]

Tom Mayo Doctor Death.

This one is winner so far

There are certain things I choose not to associate myself with or represent - just in an abundance of caution.
I wouldn't want a knife labeled "666" and do not wear sports attire of what I prefer to call, "The NJ Hockey Team" contra to their official name.

That's funny, because I don't buy knives with crosses on them.

I hear WBK (Wife Beater Knives) is coming out with an updated Gonna-Cut-A-Ho in Magnacut.

 

[ittsukan]

CRKT PSD

You: A Smooth Criminal.

Nah…. It’s just a flat grind.

Suwannee lime cutter

So nice, I got two.

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

[Padron26]

I Carry my Doc’s all the time

 

[PNWhovian]

TOPs Skull Crusher

 

[AntDog]

I Carry my Doc’s all the time

I do “cardboard combat” with these.

Does this only apply to stupid industry names, or can it be stupid custom names, too? I sort of specialize in thoroughly idiotic names for knives…

Think I called this one ‘Primer Grey Erection’

Awesome collaboration between me and my buddy Rick Marchand we called ‘Quarantanto’, made during the pandemic:

…and how about Bulette (Dungeons and Dragons, people. Look it up)

Those names have to be at least as stupid as some of the aforementioned.
