Knife...uh...gender issues!

Do you call it a 'he' or a 'she'? I always thought 'she' (like ships, planes, cars, etc.) and some like Battle Mistress are obviously 'she's. Then came Mr. and Uncle MoFos and it struck me: what to call it? Funny, I never thought of it before with Satin Jack or Mr. Mojo.

(Ms. MoFo and Mrs. MoFo don't sound quite right...)

Hadn't thought of that.....'holy crap'

I think of it as one would sailboats... you always refer to them as "she"

I agree, knives are definately "she's".

Back in my early days, when I was basically just giving my knives to my buddies in exchange for beer. . . errrrr. . . wait a minute! I STILL do that now!!!! Anyway, we had this routine where we would go to a nightclub and pick out, who we thought was, the hottest lookin' girl in the place. We would inform eachother of our choice and then we would go and find out what the girl's name was. No matter what it was, your knife was stuck with that name for eternity and could only be referred to by that name!!!!

I was still doing this 10 years later and a buddy of mine scored big time when he picked a girl named "Sheena". . . Seems like I always picked the babes with names like "Magnolia". Not really a good name for a Battle Blade.

LOL, Jerry that's riot! I offered to name one of my knives after my girlfriend, but she declined. I can't blame her for keeping business separate from pleasure...wait, which one is which?!?!

Besides, I wouldn't feel right taking <gf name> outside to beat on and abuse!

hehehe.... half the fun of owning a Battle Mistress is the name! OK, maybe not half, but it is up there!
