Favorite knife model names

[XtianAus]

I have always liked "Team Gemini"

 

[DocJD]

Something lost in translation ? Funny sounding = "Manly Comrade" vs Plainly offensive = "Raging Jap" brand

 

[JParanee]

For prouduction ....YOJIMBO



for sword I have a katana named ...Tonbogiri (Dragonfly Cutter)



For custom knife ........ Maximus after my Dog

 

[Aias]

Sneaky Pete

 

[MikeyConti]

Kershaw Blackout, idk why, just always liked that name.. Too late right now to think of my other favorites..

 

[Lapedog]

I kind of like the name for my Shamwari because it makes me think of Shamwow.

Makes me laugh.

The one I always found odd was the Stedemon Deep Sea Monster. then WE knives went and made their own Sea Monster.

Also I understand where the name Bestech came from but I honestly think that is unfortunate branding

I’ve always liked some of the names of the Busse Kin knives. For some of them it’s like they tried to make it sound unappealing, almost as a challenge to a potential buyer.

Swamp rat, ratmandu, junk yard dog, etc....

Great knives and great names. Of course for one where they took themselves a bit more seriously, the Battle Mistress is a BAMF name if ever there was one.

Switching gears:
Dumbest names: Paramilitary and Military. My brother in law has been in the middle east for the last 10 years and is a huge knife knut. I once asked him about the PM2 and the Military and he laughed. He's had several iteration of each; none lasted more than a few weeks of harsh conditions use. His (and his buddies's) folder of choice is a Benchmade Adamas.

 

[JD Bear]

Native....always liked that one, especially since it fits the knife. At least to me it does...

 

[Minnesota Man]

Benchmade infidel.

 

[TAH]

BUCK Pathfinder

Great name for a knife that's been around forever.

 

[BitingSarcasm]

I like the Rancunier, by Bastinelli. It doesn't have a direct English translation, but basically it means "one who holds a grudge" or "spiteful person."

 

[Aussie john boy]

MILF folders from Hardcore Hardware Australia, cause who doesn’t love a good Milf!

 

[Dadpool]

I generally like Busse's names. The Nuclear Meltdown Special Forces Natural Outlaw (NMSFNO) is pretty great! As is the Fusion Steel Heart.

For sheer ridiculousness, I also enjoy ZT's sprints. My favorite is the ZT 0392PURBLKWC, or as I like to call it: the ZT 0392OMGWTFBBQ.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I like the simplicity of the Spyderco Military.

 

[BOSS1]

Grayman MegaPounder.

Emerson Journeyman.

 

[Wowbagger]

Here's one. There is no knife called this that I know of but . . . shouldn't there be one ?
the Hannibal

 

[Jamesh Bond]

Some favorites:

- Hornet
- Crossada
- Dragonfly
- Cerberus

Some un-favorites:

- S.P.E.W. The worst, hands down. Cool knife, but I'll never tell anyone what I'm carrying!
- Jani-Song
- Jandura
- Be-Wharned (noticing a trend?)

But...

"Spew???"
Grose.

 

[Rykjeklut]

CRKT has a lot of good names, like the Hootenanny.
I'm also fond of Douk-Douk.

 

[Dangerously]

“Jarbenza” makes me smile every time.
