How about "The Super Fly."

John Hollister · Apr 18, 2001

I'll move this over from the other thread:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Eric, was the one we came up with in the "Emerson Chat" the other night used?

Given how sharp MTs products always are out of the box and the moved practiced with the knives, we came up with "De-fingerizer".

Ewww, "De-Fingerizer" . . . Defier!!

From Webster:

Main Entry: de·fi·er
Pronunciation: di-'fI(-&)r
Function: noun
Date: 1585
: one that defies

GEMINI

You know...the sign of the twins.

2Sharp · Apr 18, 2001

I hope that this hasnt been done already
If one looks at the entymology of the names of earlier Microtech products:
Vector - carrier (apparently used in the medecine world)
Kestrel - old world falcons
Nemesis - Greek goddess of retributive justice
Chameleon- chameleont
Socom - Special Operations COMmand
U.D.T - Underwater Demolition Team
Hawk- hawk (bird of prey)
Combat talon - fighting claw (of bird of prey)
H.A.L.O - High Altitude Low Opening
L.C.C Lightfoot Compact Combat

So, weve got more then a few with a military heritage and a few from the bird-world, often suggesting high-speed, low-drag.
What can be combined to follow the path??
Maybe
1. H.A.H.O Raptor? (High Altitude High Opening + bird of prey)
2. Raptor-Tech? (bird of prey and tech from Microtech)
3. Psyche-Tech (psyche is Greek for butterfly and again tech from Microtech)
3. Vanesa (latin for butterfly)
4. Tony-Flipper (then again, maybe not)
5. Dino-Tech (dino is latin for whirling and tech)
6. 2Sharp!

7. ??

Anyway, fun competition!
(i make no claim to the words being 100% correct, i found'em on the net...)

Microtech Dreamcatcher

This one just ocurred to me:

MT Mandrake

For those who don't know, mandrake is a plant with a forked root (two roots ... two handles ... get it?) Because this forked root often resembles the lower half of a man's body, many cultures believed them to contain demons. Thought that tied in nicely with the demon-in-every-blade belief of Phillipinos(?) that someone had mentioned earlier in the thread.

Also, nice to see that others have posted my "Moth" suggestion ...

I still like Betterfly, Orb[it] and Boomslang, however, I shall add some MilSpec feeling!

Trisector
Triad

and...for those Divinely Insprired, The Trinity.

TomF · Apr 19, 2001

Dunno if this has been said, but I haven't had time to go through all the responses:

Microtech Peregrine
MT Goshawk
MT Clarion (as in Clarinet, as in Benny Goodman, as in Swing! Get it?)

Aren't we done yet?

I originally posted the name "DragonFly" which I know is used by Spyderco; however, is the name trademarked or is "unprotected"?

Alrighty then! How about "Manong" (Filipino man) or "Filipino" (of or pertaining to the Philippines). Pardon my crude Filipino--I hope "Manong" is not a derogatory term. I think either would be appropriate due to the connection of balisongs with the Philippines.
