What’s the story behind the “flipper bait”?

That's what happens when you let somebody else name your knife for you.What’s the story behind the “flipper bait”?
Ha, that’s pretty clever. With a gift that generous I’d be a bit irate if some greedy miscreant used it as a way to make a quick buck. It does make it unique, and at the etching looks well done. Does nothing to hurt that already great looking BarlowThat's what happens when you let somebody else name your knife for you.
But seriously... I won the knife in a GAW and the owner wanted to make sure the winner wasn't going to turn around and try to make a big profit off his generosity. I think that just makes it more special and unique, I could probably sell it for five times as much now.
