OK, I'm just wondering about this.

Let's say I make something I called a "Coconut Chopper", but my version of this knife only weighes 2 ounces, and has a two fingered grip. Is this knife defective?
 
Misnamed, perhaps. I'm hesitant to say poorly designed because it may be perfect for something else. Experiment gone awry? A terrible chopper may make an outstanding patch knife. Did you make, or buy, something "defective"?

Not really, I was trying to understand the difference between what I knife might be named, and what is really is.
