The most ridiculous product names have to come from Tops. Some of my favorites:

Hellion Survivor
Taliban Takedown
Apache Dawn
Armageddon

Lol I'm sorry but their marketing team must be XXX clowns. Regardless, they sell like hot cakes so the mall ninjas must be satisfied.

The most boring must be from ESEE:

Esee 3
Esee 4
Esee 5
Esee 6

I mean come on, just a little effort please. Their knives rock btw :thumbup:


SOG seems to strike a decent medium between silly and catchy.

Thankfully ESEE's priorities are producing decent high-value knives, not giving their products fancy names so that armchair commandos on the Internet can discuss them.
 
I really would give a vote to the ZT line. Zt 0100. ZT 0121. ZT followed by 4 numbers. that is pretty boring.
 
ridiculous knife names for me = busse. most boring = becker (bk-2, bk-9, etc.) and esee but i like it that way, straight to the point.

I know the names not the same, but it always makes me think of this fellow from Labyrinth. :p

Ever look in the Busse forum on the Exchange? They've even given up on referring to them by name and have resorted to acronyms.

There's a NMFSNO, NMFBM and a HOGSJTACLE on the front page right now.

EDIT: most boring is a tie between any of the companies that use only model number designations.

+1 What he said! They even have pig nicknames (hog excuse me) that they bestow on each other. Terms of Endearment?? :yawn:
 
Some of Mantis' knives looked like they were named by randomly smacking a keyboard.
 
I don't have any really good candidates, but I'd much rather talk to my local LE officer (or, God forbid, jury) about a Swiss Army Tinker than a M4X PUNISHER :rolleyes:
 
Busse may be pricey, but their blades are tough. I use them on a weekly basis, and they are the best in terms of edge retention.
 
Since this thread really is more about companies than knives off it goes.
 
To me , most names are ridiculous. I prefer numbers.
BTW , all the better knives seem to have numbers :D


Fallkniven F1,S1,A1
Esee 3,4,5,6
Becker BK-2,5,7,9,10,11.13..etc
Bravo 1

There's a bunch more I'm sure.:cool:

You can't say that about Beckers! They're not just given number designations... they also have names you've completely left off.

BK-2 Campanion
BK-5 Magnum Camp
BK-7 Combat Utility
BK-9 Combat Bowie
BK-11 Becker Necker
BK-13 Remora
BK-14 Eskabar

ESEE is WAY more boring than Becker! :)
