Name This SAK
« on: January 14, 2012, 08:26:53 PM »


Back in November Ibach put together the New Alox configuration above.  You might think of it as a Pioneer Rancher with a Marlinspike/Sacking-Needle instead of the Reamer, or you might think of it as a First-Mate without the saw; or maybe some other way. 

This knife needs a good name.  Maybe we can use this thread to create a shortlist and then have a poll, or just figure it all out here. 

Since most of the Marlinpike models are named for the Marine industry, it might be cool to think of this one as having a Sacking-Needle and naming it for the agricultural farming industry... the fact that it is Aqua in color is just more SAK naming irony, but only makes sense because all the Marine models were red.  Anyway just some thoughts.

Let it rip, maybe I can come up with a prize for the person that comes up with a good name, on top of the fact that the name will be crowned as official on SAKwiki.  I reserve the right to be final arbitarator if required; don't worry I won't be around forever to defend the name.  :D

First name that popped into my head was Brian. It'd be nice to see some tools get real names  :D

Other than that pruner blade with "seed planter/threading needle" knife and beer opener makes me think about someone growing their own veg.

How about Propagator

The pioneer with the marlin spike instead of the awl, was just called the sea pioneer.  So to have the pruner blade on instead of the can opener, I'd probably just refer to it as a sea rancher.  Maybe a sea rancher raises sea cattle?   :D

Sorry I'll just say right now that this is not going to work, because it would have to look just like some other famous SAK in order to be worthy of the name Brian.  Since this is not the case we're going to have to just move on.  You get 4/5 for clever though; maybe we can have a prize for that as well.
