Heaven forbid it actually comes to pass, but how could you explain to a jury of your peers that a knife called the "Assassin" is just a tool that you use for peeling apples and opening packages?

BTW, like all of your other work, I love this knife. I'm intrigued by the grinds. I'd like to take a closer look.

Regarding the name, a friend of mine swears by te Shivworks Clinch Pick. Surely, it's very good at its intended purpose, but how do you pass it off as a "tool"? He went so far as to call up Trace Rinaldi and find out if he get a "ghost version". I wanted him to go one step further and get it engraved with a name like "Farmer Brown's Fruit Friend", and then have someone take a picture of him peeling an apple with it.

Maybe I'm just paranoid. Keep on making those gorgeous blades.

Edited to add anecdote.
