Fun fact, pertinent to the OP: not all peasants were poor. In fact, some were even moderately wealthy. The more you know.

In Russia, they were called kulaks. Stalin got rid of them.

I kind of like the silly names.
I mean come on! Cockpit Commander.

Life is too short and stupid to take things seriously.

Umnumzaan and Sebenza are both quite strange.

You should look up what these mean.. Actually pretty cool if you ask me.

Anything tactical or similar like named after a rifle. Also most of SOG's names

Actually, considering the lousy heat treat, mystery steels of the month, and overall lack of QC that CRKT brings to the table, I think the Swindle is so awash in irony you need chest waders to get through it.

We could give CRKT the benefit of the doubt for once and consider it 'truth in advertising'.

What if my grandparents were kulaks?

Well, I had to look it up, ole bud, but at least your grandparents were "reasonably wealthy" peasants. Nearly defies translation.

Especially ironic with the whole CS/CRKT lawsuit silliness.

I understand the history, but to those who are just getting into knives and haven't read about the history and meanings behind said names they do still sound pretty silly. I'm sure Microtech has a meaning behind their crazy knife names, doesn't make them any less silly.

How do you say pretentious in swahili?

 

[Jamesh Bond]

Kershaw OSO sweet. And a bunch of others they make too. I actually want a few, but refuse simply because of the gay names they come up with.
