Knife Naming CONTEST for the new MT Bali-Song!

Not open for further replies.
I don't know what happened to my latest post. Is there a longer than usual delay for the post to show up?

Anyway, here I go again (sorry if this appears to be a double post).

In my original post on this subject I suggested the name "DragonFly" which I know is used by Spyderco; however, is this name trademarked by them or is this name unprotected or public domain? Sorry Sal, the name seems so appropriate for the MT bali.

Two other names that I would like to offer for consideration:

"Manong" (Filipino man), or

"Filipino" (of or pertaining to the Philippines)

I think either name would be appropriate because of the connection that most people make between the balisong and the Philippines.

 

  • MT Gravity
    MT Gravitas

    MT Phenom

Microtech Kontiki

Named after the famous 8000km (4,300 miles) sea voyage in 1947 by Thor Heyerdahl from Peru to Poynesia.
Heyerdahl proved that a journey using balsa made into a raft could journey across the oceans to its final destination.

He did it 101 days. This daring adventure is somewhat akin to Microtech's courageous attempt at making THE Balisong and set new standards.

Thus, the name - Kon Tiki, symbolising excitement, adventure, courage and ultimately success.

Good Luck.

Hey I remeber how well this last naming contest went! So let's see, how about the Guardian! (whoops) or the Patriot! (uh-oh)

Snatched from the headlines: How about Electra, EP3 or Aries?

If a Lockheed Electra as a Navy EP3 (aka Aries) can beat a top-of-the-line fighter, then that must be one awesome air weapon and a suitable namesake for any Microtech product!

Remember, one of the basic balisong manipulation techniques is called the "propeller spin."

Not even close. As I recall, the longest thread so far got cut off at something like 500 replies, maybe it was a thousand.

But, that's still no excuse for the "I'm to lazy to check the thread so I'm gonna suggest an obvious name that's already been suggested twice before. I'm sorry if this has already been suggest." posts. If you feel the need to appologize for something before doing it, maybe you should think about it.
