Couldn't be as good as the Bushwackers! Friends of yours, meako???

Never heard of 'em but by the sound of it I think they have a costly habit.

I was expecting more flip-flopping, but maybe this isn’t the “red vs team brown/sepia/white” polls of 2021.

Thanks, Jon; that's just "the power of permutations" in action. When Dan EngrSorenson said we should be using "hump" and/or "back" and/or "congress", I just ran through the 6 possible permutations, and the one I suggested seemed like a winner.

Along the same lines, I like this suggestion,

...
All the letters to make up the word/name "Packhorse" are taken from the words "hump", "back" and/or "congress" .
...

where ED suggests we go beyond using the 3 words in their entirety and consider names made up from the letters contained in the 3 "key" words. I typed the letters into an anagram generator app (which I assume generates all permutations, checks them against a dictionary, and only returns permutations that are actual words). You get more words than you can shake a stick at, and some of them are pretty good (YMMV). The list was far too long for me to check everything, but here are a few of my favorites: macrophage, supermacho, beachgoer, boomerang.

My top two from as far as I went with the list were Bone Shaker and Bush Ranger.

(Here's one I made up for r8shell using only letters from the 3 valid words: Ponch Peanuk )

I don't share the obsession with naming. Some things are best not left up to the masses to decide. Some jokester will propose something, people get a chuckle, and not used to wielding any sort of power, all go "yeah, that's a funny name, lets force them to name it something stupid!" Boaty McBoatface as an example. I see similar options in the poll.

And please, for the love of good things, don't propose the blade is defaced with some ridiculous name engraved on it for your own amusement. A clean, non-stenciled, non-engraved blade is fine for most of us. Get out a magic marker and write whatever you want on it if you must.

I don't know... I was thinking a blade etch featuring the likeness of Hagrid saying "Yer a knauf, ol' 'umpy" might be both classy and charming.

No?

Your knife is named 'Fun Police'.

Correct, I was making the reference to boaty mcboatface on purpose. Because it was funny.

And please, for the love of good things, don't propose the blade is defaced with some ridiculous name engraved on it for your own amusement.

I don’t think you understand that this is just a humor thread. I’ve got nothing to do with the knife process.


… but if I did it I’d totally do it. I can just hear the sounds of 400 people flitzing the blades furiously. But to their dismay… laser etched.

Not even a tasteful tramp stamp?
