Knife guessing game ( based on description ) now guessing fixed blades

OK, r8shell graciously allowed me to get away with just a pattern name. :thumbup:
But this time I'm after a manufacturer, a pattern, and handle material; no leniency! :grumpy:
Here are three clues intended to help you identify the three required elements (in some order :p):
- one is a type of beverage container
- one rhymes with the name of a Batman nemesis
- one is transportation-related

(I think it will be easy, but I hope not! :D)

What rhymes with batty's nemesis, Cat Woman?!? (I heared a rumor that she and Batty were secretly married ... named their kid after some bird ...)
 
Bah, is it just ironic that each part of mine also fits your clues perfectly?

Back to the drawing board...

Partly right, NJBillK, but this ain't horseshoes - close doesn't count! :D

To quote my dad " close only counts with horeshoes and hand grenades "
It's obviously a boker coke bottle, but I've only seen them with black comp handles.
I don't Know what that has to do with transportation though.
 
Jack knife = semi in a bad way due to a new driver backing himself into a corner...

See my previous post for my next guess.

If I am correct, please choose someone to play in my stead. I have a migraine that I can't kick, so I am going to sleep it off.

Good luck and have fun. I think I have a good puzzle for tomorrow when I solve one.

2nd times is a charm, Bill!! Dead solid ringer (to continue with the horseshoes thing). :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks for the jack knife explanation; I couldn't figure out the transportation angle on that, but I'm just not as creative as you. :cool:
I apologize for going to bed before seeing the winning entry. Since it's already 7:30am (EST), and since Bill thinks he has a good puzzle ready to go, let's just wait till he gets back here. Hope the migraine is better when you get up!

Thanks for the well wishes and yes, I am feeling much better.
Glad I was able to get this one solved, I knew that I was on the right track.

On with the Game!

While this knife may not be able to move on its own, it is not a paraplegic.
It looks like it has a rather ear piercing shape, and when thought of phonetically, if it is not played well the sound to can also be ear piercing.
 
Good guess, but there is more than one hint given in my original message.
I will give another hint at 1pm eastern.
 
No one else trying?

This is a Fixed blade, not a folder.
 
Nope, a bit larger and a fixed blade.

No answer by 6 and I will call it.
 
I'm afraid I'm just an innocent (ignorant) bystander on this one, since I know squat about fixed blades. I've occasionally been tempted by a Mora or a puukko, but I don't see how either of those relate to the "ear piercing" clues, and they're the only fixed blade names I can think of. (Well, I'm probably exaggerating my ignorance: Bowie, bird&trout?, Sharpfinger, now I'm stuck.) Looking forward to learning something! ;)

Nope, maybe I was too vague or difficult. I am a fan of riddles, so my clues will often be in that form it so seems to be the case...

How about this, it was a Northern European work knife but was built with also working as a weapon if needed in mind. It has been dated back over 1500 years ago.

Thanks to your last clue and Google, I think I know the answer now! :o
And I've heard of this knife before, but never really knew (or cared :confused:) what it was. So thanks for "learnin' me somethin'", Bill! :thumbup:
I'm going to give someone else a chance, since I don't have a great idea for the next puzzle.
