Knife names you like or hate

I hear they are great knives, and no offense to anyone, but I cannot un-see the Comedy Central logo in the pivot of a Civivi

Sorry, I'm not politically correct. If I like a knife, I don't give a rat's ass what it's called. Doesn't mean I'll ever call it that, or anything, other than mine. And 99% of the public doesn't give a rat's ass what your knife is called. Really, they could not care less. And I could not care less what the general public thinks of my knife, or its name, assuming they looked up from their phones long enough to notice. Cater to the mythical over-zealous District Attorneys if you wish, but don't expect me to comply.

For those who prefer not to upset people that you don't know who really don't care, when was the last time you just asked someone you don't know what they thought of the name of your knife?

I don't think people not liking a name has to do with being PC. Many places (including Canada where I live) knives are only allowed to be as tools and not weapons. The discretion of weapon vs tool is up to the police officer, so if the police officer asks to see your knife and see's it is called "death on contact" or "broken skull" for example. That makes knife sound like it is designed or meant to be a weapon not a tool. Thus, a name can potentially have a pretty large impact for many individuals.

I guess I'm one of the few who, at the very least, doesn't mind ZT's core numbers naming convention.

HALO is quite cool.

I personally also like the ZT model numbering system, it is simplistic and easy to remember.

I hate the Cold Steel Broken Skull name.

So do I. I read it was named after Steve Austin's fighter nickname. It's a dis-service to the knife and to Steve Austin (who comes off as a cool guy in most movies). Typical Cold Steel bragging...
 
[Douk-Douk has to be my favorite.]
Plus for the Douk-Douk which is funny and intriguing. I think this may be one of the first attemps to launch a "thematical" range of knives.
What I dislike truely are obviously or discreetly death themed names like Sentry Deanimator, Instant Stabber, Corpse Quarterer, Bone Collector, Sudden Strike, Death Flash and other Super Stabbinator 2000 styled names. What ? They don't exist ? (there's a real one in there). Ok, it's free, help yourself. But I admit I got a chuckle out of "Vulture Cholera". This you can't make up.
 
I cringe when I see the word "tool" in place of "knife" particularly when its just a generic looking knife in the purest sense of the word.
 
Sigma is one of my favorites... Pero (Russian = feather) is prison slang for 'shiv' and also Hi-Jinx is kind of cool...

and I like Drunken, Nirvana, and my favorite... Military
 
Of all the knife names not to like - and there are a few, the winner in my opinion is Broken Skull.

I don't care if it's the name of a professional wrestler's ranch or a truck driver's underwear, it's not a name i like on a knife that I carry and that from time to time others may see. It's not that I'm so concerned about what others think of me lest they judge me by the knife I carry and it's not event hat the name may connote use of the knife as a weapon, I have more than a few knives that are labeled "CQC ..." but the name broken Skull is just, IMHO a stupid name for an otherwise decent knife that, other than the name on it, i actually like.
 
I like Victoronix naming - Farmer for a great collection of blades a farmer would use, Fisherman for fishing, Camping for campers...
 
Not fond of names you don’t now how to pronounce - Ruike.

Is it “Rake”, “Rookae”, “Ruik”, “Rook”...?
 
Busse has, IMO, some awesome names for their knives
Silent Knight, Battle Mistress, Public Defender. They also have some ridiculous names as well. The one name I probably like least in their lineup is the BURP. (Still waiting for the eventual arrival of the Busse FART.)
