DO you name your knife? If so what are the knives and their names. Feel free to give an explanation to their names and any history. I'll start us off.

We'll go Knife:Name: Explanation

My Kershaw’s.

Offset: Jack : There are many reasons behind this name, 1) It's "CRAZY" splattered design, first gave me Jack as in Jack Nicholson from One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Jack the Ripper, Jack Bauer from the 5th season of 24 (my offset is 0005 of 1000) . .and last of all Jack, as in Jack you up! God too much time on my hands. Anyone laughing out there?

Spec Bump: Bruce : Cause it looks like a knife that Batman would carry and Batman is Bruce Wayne.

Steven Segal Ken Onion: Lee : As in Martial arts Master Bruce Lee, Sorry Steven You didn't cut it . . no pun intended . .err . .okay it was intended.

Stainless Leek: Michael: As in my guardian angel, always on my hip and ready to protect and serve. .hey maybe I should call him Poncho from CHIPS?

Rainbow Leek: Betty: Hey we all know that this knife is a little "femme" even though it's 2002 knife of the year, it's little rainbow design although beautiful, earns it a 'never be seen with' sissy name.

Whirlwind: Old Blue: My First Kershaw and personal knife that I used while working For Pepsi. . .a bit worn but still trust worthy.

Centofante Ken Onion: David: Learn from Goliath, you should not underestimate this David's size.

Tom Brown Tracker: Charles: After Anthony Hopkins character from The Edge A great survival movie everyone should see. This knife, like him, can be useful and .. able to kill a bear . . what it can't? How would you know have you ever killed one with it?

My Movie Prop LOTR Strider Elvin Knife: John: As in John Holmes, this thing is Huge!!!!!!

I have a few other older knives that I will omit for now. Well what do you think, besides the fact that I may be a little insane and the fact that I only have one knife named after a girl . . . No I am not gay, nor crazy . . .unless it's about knives. . . crazy that is.

Huh, I like the idea; however, I have yet to name a knife. I was never able to get into naming my vehicles, either. However, don't let me rain on your parade! ;)
 
I took a key from George Foreman.
All of my knives are named " Sharp S.O.B."
:cool:
You cant imagine how many knives I sharpen for " outdoorsmen"..
I don't even have to really "fix" them. Just a few whacks on my old Norton India stone.
" Damn son, It aint never been that sharp" :jerkit:
 
I like to name my knives according to my mood when I purchase them.

So far I have named my knives Sunshine, Happiness, and Super-happy-funtime.

Thank you for your support.

Nah, I don't name my knives. I dunno, I'd hate to give a knife a name like Wilson or something and then scream out for it as I watch it be swept out to sea or something. I could always buy another knife, but I couldn't buy another Wilson, or whatever.
 
I named my twin 1911's "Fred and Ethel".No reason behind that,never did know which one was which.

Well gee, so far looks as I am the only one . . .maybe I am crazy!

No way you arent crazy at all. You just have some imagination. I don't name my knives either but I think it is cool that you do and this was a fun thread. Everybody is so conformist and afraid to be thought of as different these days. Im glad you posted something a little different and interesting.
 
I don't name knives, but if I did it would be some ridiculous name out of a science fiction novel, like Rogol Domdefors or Lens Larque. :thumbup:
 
yes, i have one knife i call mick, this name is for croc. dundee "that's not a knife, this is a knife." i have a sword that is called funtime, it is a katana, i just think that is more applicable. then i have a sword that is called janawar katne, maker name means animal cutter, i have old faithful which i carry daily, and to round off the list i have a khukri that i call the gurka.
i don't want to list all the names that would take to long.
if naming a knife, firearm, car is crazy then put me at the top of the list because i have named them all.
ALL ABOARD HA HA HA HA!!!! ozzy
 
Alright!! I was getting a little worried that I was alone. Thanks for the kind words Holierthanthou . . .Hey eagle, loved to see picks if ya got them.
