Greetings BFFs!
Looking for a family friendly, non-theological (or pseudo-theological), non-pop culture reference, s**ual innuendo-free name for my neck knife design. Believe it or not, that still leaves a lot of possibilities!
This is the knife; don't mind the scratches, as it is now my 24/7 user/beater.
Mine has python Micarta scales, but as I am a custom maker, handle options are wide ranging.
And here are some of the blade shape variants that will be offered:
I'd like the name to be something catchy that one would look at the design, and think "yeah, that makes sense". Now, I kind of thought it looked a bit like a pterodactyl or a mosquito, but the first name is taken, and I don't know about the second.
The original inspiration came last year from a piece of cut off steel I had that seemed a bit too large to throw away. But it was just too slim and oddly shaped to make a knife out of it. Or was it??
The result was my "Super Pointy Wharncliffe".
Fast forward to now, and I have revisited the design, taking the elements that worked on the original design, and amplifying them. You can see the changes for yourself if you compare, but I will list them for your convenience.
The new knife is:
Slimmer, lighter,
has a full height grind,
more pronounced thumb ramp, with finer jimping,
a straighter handle to point relationship,
and no fob hole (the handle is long enough to not need such a thing).
This design is extremely versatile. Here are some of the many ways it can be comfortably gripped and used:
Saber grip
Filipino grip
Reverse grip edge out
Reverse grip edge in
Pencil grip
Pinch grip
I don't want to know why you would need this grip
And at a mere 1.9 oz, mine now lives around my neck along with my house key.
Given the great versatility of this design, it's my intention to offer it, and variants, primarily in AEB-L, and also with a few different blade shapes (my AEB-L order book thread has some examples). At this time, I have a few orders on the books for some of these, and a couple left to sell, and after that I am pretty sure I'll want to make more.
So with no further ado, what would be a good name for this design series?
I'm going to offer my customary 15% discount to the one whose name suggestion I end up choosing on your first purchase of one of this design.
Thanks!
