Would you buy a knife if it was named Floofy Bunny?

Assuming that there is not some "magical" functionality. (which may have been implied) I don't care nearly as much about the name as the color. But really size\shape= hand fit is more important than either color or name.

By the way, welcome to Bladeforums! :)

Be prepared to spend more on knives than you thought possible.
 
Floofy Bunny is fine. It reminds me of the Rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
 
I bought a knife even though it was called- Steven Segal. I still
like the knife. Now if your knife was named BunnyGirl Rabbit ,it should
sell well.
 
dude I would totaly get that, it would be badass :D You could mod it to be all...undead zombie bunny or something. And I believe the proper term is "salmon" not pink :P

if it was an SD knife, absolutely. These companies need to pay attention to the effect on juries that a black blade, black handled "Infidel" has on a jury, a jury which is most likely going to be anti-knife from the start.

For a simple box opening EDC, why bother. My knives are already kind of froo-froo anyway, with my ti bumps and ti tyrades...

Not only that but they are picked by a letter sent at random.So several of them probably don't want to be there in the first place anyway.
 
If you are secure in your tighty whities, what's pink got to do with it? And, for what it's worth, I read about a famous 17th Century Japanese sword named Bright Chrysanthemum.
 
It'll complete my set:
floofixed pink Izula
floofolder pink Native
 
Of course, I would buy, carry and use (!!) such a knife. Why not? Just given names. It could have also been called "Monstersmashing Armageddon (and so on...)". When the knife is ok for me and the possibilities using this, it would also take a any-coloured coated knife.

Kind regards...
 
In my best Jim Belushi voice,
"With a name like Floofy Bunny it just has to be good"!
Hell yeah, I'll buy a couple!;)

Is this marketing research?

Kind of. Starting a knife company isn't so far-fetched a dream. My hometown is a tool and die mecca, and my dad is upper-level management at a high-end tool manufacturer.

Add in a well established heat-treating company that's literally within a mile or two, and which is headed up by a guy whose son I went to high school with...

From the responses in this thread, it seems like even among the usually "macho" and male knife collecting crowd there is interest in this sort of knife. If the design is aesthetically pleasing to a wide female demographic, the $225-300 price point I'm shooting for is no more expensive than some of the "cheaper" purses or shoes a lot of girls are wearing nowadays. With that wide of a target demographic, especially if the design can pull in a female audience, the knife should be a success.

Well, I guess we will see what I can do with my spare time this summer.
 
Even though I'm looking forward to buying a Laser Strike (a daft name for an outdoor knife if there ever was one), even I draw the line at Floofy Bunny...

...unless it was a rabbiting knife.
