What do y'all think would be a good name for the new Mark Wohlwend Camp Knife ?

I think something like ' The Mountain Man ' or the ' The Grizzly ', something that evokes images of a grizzled mountain man/trapper dressed in furs using his blade to cut up the hare he's just cooked over the campfire !

Maybe I've watched Death Hunt and Jeremiah Johnson too many times !:D

i think there are already a few makers using those names or similar for some knives.

here are some "Grizlies" by Hargis Knives http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=776653

and here is a BRKT "Mountain Man" http://www.knivesshipfree.com/Mountain-Man

now, that doesn't mean you can't call your knife that, but i'd suggest finding something more unique, at least as far as knife names go.

how about "Chugach" after the Chugach Mountains a range of mountains, part of the Coast Ranges, in southern Alaska. Anchorage lies at its base, and it is noted for glaciers that flow south into the Gulf of Alaska.

"Denali" another name for Mount McKinley , tallest mountain in North America.

"Kodiak" Kodiak Island an island in the Gulf of Alaska, in southwestern Alaska, noted for its wildlife and sites of early European settlement.

also

Kodiak bear an animal of a large race of the North American brown bear or grizzly, found on islands to the south of Alaska.


of these, i think i like Chugach best. :D
 
Kodiak was also one that I had in mind, great minds think alike eh !:D:thumbup:
 
Just looking at mountain men terms/words, how about : BOSSLOPER;
A trapper or hunter.

BONE PICKER
A despised human scavenger who hunted for, and sold, the bones of dead animals, mostly buffalo.

CHEF DE VOYAGE
A party leader. (Voyageur)

HIVERANNO
An experienced mountain man. One who had lived many years in Indian country. (First Voyageur, later Mountain Man)

JORNADA
A day's journey. A journey between pre-determined points.

VOYAGEUR
A trapper for one of the very early fur companies. Most voyageurs were French-Canadian.

WOLFER
A man who made his living hunting wolves for bounty. The wolfer was only considered a degree or two better than the hide hunter. Neither were ever considered a part of the skin (fur) trade.

of these, i like Hiveranno, but think that Chef De Voyage and Voyageur may be to close to being bastardized to "Voyeur" or "Chef Boyardee" :rolleyes: the others are somewhere in between.

Coming from England where we all use slang, Johnson is slang for a mans pork dagger ( oops slang again ) so that's what I think of !:thumbdn:

A Brit would say " Did ya see the size of that guys Jeramiah, it was like an elephants trunk !":D

plenty of slang here, just not quite the same slang... however "Johnson" is fairly universal.
