Want to Name Another?

I think it would be neat to pay homage to the knifes origins.
Not knowing much myself about the origins of the Norfolk pattern I ran across this very interesting thread.
Apparently the pattern was started in Sheffield by Joseph Rodgers and named perhaps for the street the factory showroom was once located on.
Perhaps another name of a Sheffield street could be used for this knife.
Here are a few Sheffield street names I came across.

Norburn
Norgreave
Norehill

Or in homage to the man who created the pattern the knife could be called the "Rodgers"

Here is a historical picture from the thread I linked to that I thought was very interesting.

There is a beautiful little seaside town in Norfolk, in fact there are many, but there is one which shares its name with a sporting hero of my youth. My old man was a Spurs supporter (Tottenham Hotspur Football Club for the non UK members) and when I was in my teens a footballing legend arrived at White Hart Lane in the twilight of his career and showed the youngsters how to do it. He could read the game so well. Anyway his name, like this small Norfolk town, is Sheringham. Teddy Sheringham.

The Sheringham is my entry.

Thanks for the chance Derrick, you know how eagerly I've awaited these. :)

My Father was a Spurs fan as well. I guess I should recommend Iceman for his favorite Spur, George Gervin. Oh different Spurs, Never mind.

The Northwoods #31 Aurora Borealis Half Whittler. Or...The Northern Lights Whittler.

Or any combination of the above name...
The Northwoods #31 Borealis Half Whittler, Humpback Whittler, etc..
The Northwoods #31 Aurora Half Whittler. " " "
The Northwoods #31 Northern Lights Half Whittler. " " "

Throw the word "Humpback" anywhere above, and if you prefer, remove the "half". You could even add "Easy Pocket" It all works out good :)

You could call it "The Borealis", or "The Aurora", or, "The Northern Lights Humpback" lol

My point is... Something something Aurora Borealis something, something Northern Lights something something.

Borealis basically means 'North Wind', or 'Northern Winds'. :)

From Wiki: "In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)

You could also call it, "The Northern Star" (I don't know if anyone else already said Northern Star, but if we get more than one choice, that would be my second if not already taken).
