WOW, what a knife. I got it in the mail today, and this thing is just a battle-axe of a blade. For the first time I am actually thinking of "naming" my knife.

Any Suggestions?
 
Chinook? (Isn't THAT a good name?).:).

Well then, how about "Spydie Salmon"?.:D.
 
Chinook is not good enough? If you want to give it a name, how about Junior?

Just kidding.
:D

How about Spydie's Fatboy?
 
Easyrider - are you talking about the Johnny Cash song? If you are, Sue would be a great name...

Mjolnir was Thor's hammer. Pronounced mostly like me-yole-neer, emphasis mostly on the second syllable.

Giving knives female names always seemed a little too serial killer for my tastes.
 
I'm thinking -BOB-??

~~> Easy to pronounce (even for non-English speakers)

~~> Can be extended to "Robert" for formal ocassions or dates.

WARNING:

DO NOT drop BOB on your foot.., that is one big folder!

I am very into my Scottish heritage, so I am thinking something to do with that. Anything but claymore though, that's kinda been done.
 
How about Aegis-fang, the barbarian war hammer for the book 'The Crystal Shard' (Excellent fantacy book...by the way) :D

Yes, I read R.A. Salvatore, and believe it or not I was considering Aegis-Fang. Now that someone else who didn't know I read those suggest it to, I am really thinking that might be the name.

Have you read the rest of the Icewindale Trilogy?
 
How about "Claidheamh Mhor", or "Claymore", the Scots "great sword". It was a term that they applied to the great hand-and-a-half broadsword with the downward sloping quillons as well as to the basket-hilted broadswords with which we are more familiar. Given the weight of the Chinook, I should think that it might apply.
 
If you want a more personal name, try something like Rob Roy (MacGregor) or "The Bruce" after Robert the Bruce or even the Scottish hero, MacBeth, whom Shakespeare slandered mightily.

And then, there is "Mons Meg" the whacking great cannon at Edinburgh Castle which is something of a Scottish landmark. Or, perhaps "Iona" after the island where St. Columba (Colum Cille) set up his first church when he came over from Eire to convert the Scots.

Finally, there is Flora MacDonald, the lady who helped the Bonnie Prince Charlie escape to Skye and thence to France after the disaster at Culloden in 1747 and is a Scots hero.

"Though the waves leap,
Soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rock'd in the deep,
Flora will keep,
Watch by your weary head.
So speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
'Onward!' the sailors cry,
Carry the lad that was born to be king,
Over the sea to Skye."
from "Skye Boat Song"
