Knife names you like or hate

[JDRanger]

Curious to know with all the knives out there what model names you like.

Or, if the mood moves you list the names you just hate.

Or both!!

Very hard to narrow it down and pick but I like these names:

1. Spyderco Tenacious

2. Cold Steel Recon

3. Chris Reeve Sebenza

4. Southern Grind Spider Monkey

5. Tops Tex Creek

6. Benchmade Northfork

Best. Name. Ever.

Tops has a lot of really stupid names for their knives. There is also a knife called the "Mr. Roper" wtf?

 

[ScooterG]

Best: Behemoth Chopper

Worst: Any thing ZT like 0770CFM4 or 0392PURBLKWC

I’ve got a good one and a bad one from Zack Brown Southern Grind:

Cool: Jackal

Dumb: Penguin

I like these ones...

Hinderer Ranch Bowie
Spyderco Hundred Pacer
Buck Folding Hunter
Kabar Fighting Utility Knife

There are a lot I don't like, but the only one I will mention here is the Cold Steel Broken Skull, just because IMO it ruined a great knife.

Any name that suggests it is a "weapon" is at the top of my will never buy hate list.

So, you don’t like Tops Skullcrusher?

Kizer Soze is a good one. Also, beer scout. Lots of GECs have great names actually.

I showed my buddy my Beer Scout a couple of years ago, and he was totally onboard. It fits the knife. A set of the most useful tools that also makes sure to pop the top on frosty beverages.

One of my favorites of Himalayan Imports lore is the "Pen Knife". Without getting into the play on words since it has to do with a fairly disgraced maker, it's still kinda cute. When you think of a pen knife, you think of a small knife that makes exact cuts (like for a quill). The HI Pen Knife is ONLY 12" long and weighs around 10-11 oz. Cute little bugger when you compare its larger siblings. It's also a fixed blade, and I used mine to make maybe 100 campfires over the years.

I hate the Cold Steel Broken Skull name.

 

[Jason Chambers]

I like the White River Knucklehead.

 

[goldie]

Every Quartermaster knife name; they are just plain stupid,childish, and mindless; one recent one I think is cool is the spyderco positron ….

Best: Behemoth Chopper

Worst: Any thing ZT like 0770CFM4 or 0392PURBLKWC

Think I'd have to put Behemother above Behemoth Chopper.

Back in the non-PC days, liked Terminator and Urban Shiv from CS.

I thought Street Scalpel was a cool knife name. Might not be the best if you poked somebody with it, but a cool name nonetheless.

IIRC, that name went through a few changes. I remember it starting out as the Spokane Street Scalpel, then was changed to the Street Scalpel, and now it’s just the Scalpel (Which is dumb and boring).

Ohhh... I forgot about the TaliWhacker.

"Skullcrusher"? That sounds like a hammer or baseball bat. I have a couple good hammers somewhere....
I've no need of a baseball bat at my age.

I like knives with names like "Stockman" "Trapper", "Canoe", "Sunfish" "Scout knife" and "Camp knife", "Huntsman" "Toothpick" ... "Number 1", "L66", "103", "Jet Pilot Survival Knife" "Marlin Spike", "Sailor's Knife", "Loom Fixer"/"Half Hawk" ... and "110", "112", "7OT", "6OT" of course.
