What exactly is a CARNIVOUR?
When I first heard about it on this forum, I assumed it was just a misspelling of the word CARNIVORE. Now, after seeing it rererred to numerous times subsequently on this forum, as well as advertised in monthly publications as CARNIVOUR, I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea what it is. Someone help me out......

But Spark, will it be in my pocket with the BF logo?

I think he may be referring to the definition of the word, not the knife itself.

Senator is correct. I am familiar with the knife itself.
I was wondering where the knife got its name.... what is it named after?
What exactly is a CARNIVOUR?

Well, it seems it's a carnivore with big appetite (devour).

Did I win a free one?
 
All joking aside, the marriage of those two words (carnivore & devour) had entered my mind as a possibility, but is that actually where the name came from? How is it pronounced? Carnivore, or does the last syllable rhyme with "hour"?

I've seen the spelling used in the English (as in British) version of the word. Kind of like colour, and color.

In which case, Spark, you've seen a mispelt British version.
The word is 'carnivore' in any version of English.

But I have to say, I rather like 'Carnivour' as a name - just different enough to catch the eye.
