When one buys a knife one should be careful about acquiring edged weapons with names like Assasin. Dark Death, etc. Imagine if you use the blade in self defense how much temptation this offers to the prosecutor to run you up the flag pole. Liberals like to get jobs as prosecutors to forward their anti-weapon position and make examples out of pople like you, how many of you take jobs as prosecutors to forward your agenda and help people who are honest and hard working defend themselves against people who commit violent aggressive crimes against persons. That would be about as common as homeland security declaring a week anti-burglar week and mobilizing a task force to catch burglars and keep our homes safe. If you survive the prosecutor then think about the wrongful death or assault civil lawsuits from the attacker when you use a knife named assasin. Be careful with names.
You could always remove names of any knife without breaking any laws since knife registration is down the road a piece. Also could remove knife serial numbers. Sanitized knives can have a place.

Agree, you should be careful with names of knives. Likewise, buying a knife that is designed for only one purpose (as a weapon) can also have the same results.

Removing the name of the knife might limit the chances that a knife name won't be associated, but it doesn't take too much work to figure out what the model name is.
 
defense attorneys have a job to do. and they will exploit anything they can in the furtherance of their clients interest.

they will redirect the nature of the case in an attempt to mitigate the guilt of their client.
 
That's why I like my Cold Steel Voyager. Let them try to make something out of that name!

Semper Fi!
 
There's no apparent evidence that this has ever happened in an actual trial, but it is still quite plausible.

yes, of course.

but it is wise to be aware of the possibility, and perhaps may influence some in their purchases.

ive discussed this with our defensive tactics unit, and basically i am willing to live with the possibility of having "cqc13 bowie" questioned in court.

Gentlemen, if you study the Bill of Rights as a whole and not each amendment you get the whole picture. (Liberals cannot do that because they like to nitpick the wording). Because people are innocent until proven guilty and people's rights are protected, the government cannot get involved until the crime has been committed. Since, the government cannot put a cop in every household, (it is logically impossible). The second amendment was written to give the people the right to defend themselves.

Case in point: A man breaks into your house to commit murder. The police are called evidence is collected, a case is formed, and the body is removed. Which body that is removed depends on whether you defend yourself or not; the government, (police) is only and can only be a reactionary force.

Now with that said, who give a dam what name a knife has, If attacked defend yourself but never pull a knife in a gun world.
 
Quite a while back, we had an informal vote over the least threatening name for a blade... something like "Fluffy Hamster Package Opener" seemed to be the preference.
 
The start of this does seem funny but I have seen many cheap knives with the name assassin or defender on them and I have always felt that would be a bad knife to be displayed in front of the jury if you used it for self defense. I have seen a ADA in NYC try to impress upon a jury that a home owner who used a Remington 870 shotgun with a 19" barrel to shot a inturder was "waiting to shot some one with a shotgun that had no other use than a weapon"......The Grand jury did not press charegs but I will tell you that the DA was pushing hard about how the shotgun had a "short" barrel, etc......
 
Prosecuters have a job to do, agenda or otherwise. IF you defend yourself you will need an attorney - self defense is self defense - know the law, stay inside the lines, and exercise your right to remain silent (a right protected by a liberal court, if you recall.)
