What's in a name?
on: June 21, 2011, 01:38:39 AM
Victorinox loves the cute names (or maybe we do). They are wholesome and good, so long as you don't freak out about the Huntsman, Hunter and Soldier, but even those are socially appropriate.

So if we were going to give SAKs "naughty" names, what would they look like? What would you expect to find in the Instigator, the Troublemaker, the Saboteur? I'm going to toss this out to the group, see what we can come up with. And in keeping with this twisted and perverse theme, along with Vic tools feel free to include Wenger ones (like porting an 85mm Wenger metal file into an 84mm Vic frame). I'm curious to see what we can come up with for delinquent SAKs.

I like the "Saboteur". :salute:  How about the Guerrilla, Sapper or the Commando?


On a related note I always felt that many of LM's names were rather Freudian.  Pulse, Juice, Surge and Squirt anyone?  Or maybe that's just me. :-[

No, your not alone there Gareth!


There should be one called the Wanderer - that little bugger that you keep misplacing.

I guess that would make it alox, using a custom scale that incorporates a liner.

Of course, you make it out of a heavy enough alloy...

How about SwissTool, it can be used to name their biggest offering... oh, wait they DID use that name for their biggest offering...  :D Or the SwissGrip, for the smaller, more feminine version... oh, it has also been done I hear by Wenger (that name sounds suspicious to me...)  >:D
