Worst knife names

Paul,
I respect your opinion on this issue just as I respect your right to carry with you whatever knife you choose. We're all on the same team here. But I think that sometimes we too easily allow ourselves to be influenced by, and occasionally give in to, the ultra-liberal idiots who unwittingly are making every effort to destroy this country. I simply thinks it's wrong that we would eschew a high quality tool like an MT LCC simply because of a word printed on its blade. I understand your concern about potential legal ramifications, but I personally won't have my actions dictated to me by persons who see some great injustice in holding individuals accountable for their actions.

I'm with TheMartialWay on this one. The Sharp Eagle brand's ads in Blade make me laugh...

The "Cool" and the "Lover..."

Just what the hell was someone thinking. My guess it they're literal and ineffective translations from the Pakistani names designated to these "fine knives" at the plant there. No offense meant to their country!

Absolutely! 100% agreed. It's a major pain that there are so many hoplophobes around and in positions of power, but it is a fact of life. I may still succumb to the lure of an LCC, but I will feel very constrained about where I can carry it because of the etched label. I just don't need the extra grief. Why should I take the chance that just when I need a knife most, the stupid label on the blade would set me up for more trouble? Something like a Benchmade Ares, with a blade size that's almost exactly the same and a blade shape that's not noticeably less useful in an emergency just doesn't have the likelihood of causing that extra grief just because of the blade etching, and the colorful handle also makes it look more peaceful. After all, I am a peaceful man. I don't want to disturb my friends, not even the hoplophobic ones, and I certainly don't want to set myself up for a hostile attorney when I don't have to.

A tool is, basically, an object that enables you to take advantage of the laws of physics and mechanics in such a way that you can seriously injure yourself.
 
What a great thread! I recently bought a "Panty Waist" by Macho Knives from Ebay it was a great knife (almost too stylish) but unfortunately I had to give it up when I was stopped and searched by a gay policeman, he loved it....

No, I got the one to top them all. The worst knife name ever is... "The Knife!"

Hehehe. It's in every Smokey Mountain catalog. A plastic knife-like thing that wouldn't cut air and they actually called it... "The Knife!". Odd thing is, I believe it's made by Lansky. They make good sharpeners.

Someone used to sell a knife called the “Little Pecker”. A great knife ground from a file that came with a booklet explaining where to and not to stick your … knife.

Good point Paul. I think my ultimate hope is that if more fence sitters see responsible, peace loving folks like you and me using knives like the LCC for legitimate, peaceful purposes, then maybe they will start to come over to our side (and in the process, leave the Feinsteins, Metzenbaums, Schumers and Bradys of the world to wallow in their pit of ignorance)

More on topic, I can still remember when my uncle gave my mom an inexpensive mid-sized lockback that went by the name of "Disco". As soon as you saw the scales on this thing you knew why.

How about "Sebenza"?

I'm sorry, but that name just does not come trippingly off the tongue.

Disclaimer: Nowhere in this posting is any value judgement made about the knife itself, only the name.
 
I don't believe using nice peaceful domestic monikers will halt the ignorance of the Feinsteins and Schumers of the world, and such a policy smacks of appeasement (which is always in vain, to my mind). So I stand behind any knife company naming their knives anything they want. That said, however (and here I tread on ground that's already been covered in this thread) you have to cover yourself from a legal perspective. Just like a Colt Detective will go down easier with a jury (name-wise) than a Colt King Cobra, an "Axis" or an "Eclipse" is better legally than a "Widowmaker" if you ever use a knife for self defense.
