In the German knife magazin Messer Magazin there is an article about
the old France custom of giving a name to the knife that they are going to use as an EDC (a knife life long ,in those days). This custom goes specialy
for Laguioles. Now there is a society that tries to blow new life in this custom. They perfom this ceremony and laser the name of the knife in the blade.

I wonder; do you give a name to your knife?

Cor.
 
Balisong flippers often have a tradition of naming their knife when it first draws blood. I named my 31S (my second balisong after my 42MC, by two days) "Mac" after the Bobby Darin song. Never bothered naming any of my other knives though.
 
Never heard about this tradition before, something is sure to name and baptize your knife will cost within 35 and 59 euros, IMO i prefer to name it as usual "couteau" :D
 
Guilty... Done a few times myself.

CRKT 14K Denali -- somewhy got named "Louie". Pehaps after "Girls don't cry over Louie" heard when flicking it.

BM806D2 -- "Drow". Dark, sleek, mean, and as charismatic as knife can be... What else could you call it?
 
I thought knives were supposed to always have female names.
They are beautiful, will cut you and end up costing you money.

I'm not sure of the spelling, but I thought that taint was the skin in between your (ahem) private parts and your A$$ hole.
:confused:
Maybe your girlfriend has some explaining to do?:D

Nah, that's called a Cuzif. Why?

Cuzif it weren't there, your balls would be connected to your @$$hole.

And none of my knives have names, but if/when I ever get a really nice one, it may be named.
 
Just for a laugh I'll say "Meet Mr. Pointy" when someone freaks out at the sight of my knife, but I've never really considered naming one for real.
 
As I said once (don't remember if it was for a guitar or a knife) that for me, the kind of people who name their knives/guitar are the kind of people that give name to their genitals :P

Well, I usually refer to my Cuda Maxx as "Maxx"

2) to make morally corrupt
3) to corrupt
