Name-A-Knife Contest

Okay, here's another:

"Egress"

According to the American Heritage College Dictionary...

1. The act of coming or going out; emergence. 2. The right of going out. 3. A path or opening for going out; an exit. 4. (Astron.) The emergence of a celestial body from eclipse or occultation.

Sorry if it has been already listed: way too many posts to sort thru!
 
Well I guess its time to throw my hat in the ring. I figured that since this is such a new concept in knife making you would want a name that was a little different than the names of your other knives, besides every Greek word other than GYRO has already been taken. Here's my list:

1) Since two people can look at the same thing and see something completely different I reccomend:

"Concept", "Vantage", or "Perspective"

2) And since the idea is to send this blueprint out and see how it looks when it comes back, how about:

"Prodigal"

3) But you guys are working together in a way, so:

"Endeavor", "Enterprise", or "Conspiracy"

4) And just because the knives will be somewhat alike, what about:

"Similus"

Thanks for the opportunity,
Travis
 
I'm still in the middle of reading the 650-page Roget's Thesaurus and following are more suggested name:

ENIGMA -- meaning mystery, puzzle, secret; a bolster-lock is surely an enigma for me!

OMEN -- meaning sign, precursor; two eminent custom knife makers collaborating is surely an omen for other makers to consider!

Others are ACE, ALLY, and MATE.

I also like MATRIX, from one of the most impressive movies of the year, as a bolster lock "cannot be described but has to be experienced"...

More later....
 
EPOCH, a notable occurence in time. An Allen-Crawford folder, plus the bolster lock, is surely an epoch event in the knife industry...
 
Well Allen:

Considering different makes and appearances, maybe

MetalTech

or

Infusion

or

Templer

Good luck with the project

Look forward to seeing the results.
 
I will start to mull it over. Great concept and I would love to win a free one! I just posted to say I got a great belly laugh from calling it "chicken-buscuit", thanks for the contest,Allen!
 
Here are my suggestions:

Cutting-related names:
Cuts
Cutz
Incisive
Incisiveness

Other:
The King's Advisor, or The Advisor: Used and needed even by the rulers and something that will be there when the need be.
Cairn: A stone pyramid, set as a marker for an important place. Something that sets the example, something that the others will come to.
Portal or Constellation: Make them think - can this be from OUR world?
Gist: "Just give me the gist of it". The damascus blade, the materials, the appearance - Gimmicks? Veneer? Superficial? Not with THIS knife!
Doppelganger: Two makers, two patterns, one knife. Welcome to Forms Unlimited.
Consistency: When Form = Function
Conjunction or Confluence: Two masters joined their forces and you're holding the breath-taking result in your hand.
Spearhead: One must lead the way.
Beachhead or Milestone: Go further than anyone else before without hesitation.

Epic or Magnum Opus: "This is it! This is finally it!" The main project finally done. Greater than anything before.
