Origin of the name "Keen Nadder"?

[Dadpool]

I picked up a Keen Nadder and I love it, but I can't find out (or guess) why it's named the "Keen Nadder."

Can you shed any light on the origins of the model name?

It might come from the animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" - the Nadder is one of the dragons that has piercing spines on its tail. Just a guess though....

That was the main thing I found as well, but it seems like such an odd choice.

There’s much stranger knife names than Keen Nadder for knives - just look at the names Elijah Isham comes up with like the Eschaton or the Megatherium. He even used the name of the planet from the novel Dune so names from Sci Fi, books, movies, ancient mythology, languages like Latin and Greek and every source you could name are being mined for names. If Keen Nadder came from a book or a movie it would not surprise me.....

Keen is a synonym for Sharp and Nadder is Old English for poisonous snake

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing the origin of the name. I can definitely see the snake in its shape -- makes sense to me.
