knife names

What names have you given to your favorite knives?

This could get pretty interesting.


Before long, we'll have Mall Ninja wannabes posting about how they named their favorite Fury knife, "The Eye Gouger Outer".

I always thought a good name would be "Christ-Put-That-Thing-Away".

Manufacturer names are good enough for me. Today I'm wearing my D2 Griptilian, yesterday I wore my Spyderco Ronin. When I say this, everyone knows exactly what I am talking about. I didn't wear "The Vein Ripper" yesterday, and "Grippy Bill" today.

I stopped naming things before I became a teen-ager. Giving an inanimate object a personal name is a bit juvenile IMO - a lot like naming a doll. Inanimate objects don't have personalities, don't have interests, just plain don't care. I think Danbo hit it on the head.

My brother (2 years younger than me) used to name things up until recently (his cars, bike, even his frisbie golf disks) - although to his credit it's been years since I've heard him refer to something by a "personal name". In the past, I tried hard not to laugh too much in his face. To my knowledge, even he hasn't named the knives I've given him.
