You guys have been very helpful. I have decided to call on the one person that can truely help me decide, my wife  :readit:  . She picked "Vagabond" (wanderer)as in "Vagabond Hunter". We thought  several of your suggestions were great and I am very thankful for your consideration of the chosing of the name.

Thanks guys and I thank Chuck for the suggestion since his was what we decided upon. I do think knife will experience some wanderings where ever it goes.

COOL! I always liked that name for something Lin. I am glad you and the wife liked it as well.
It is a great looking knife.
Happy New Year.

vag·a·bond /ˈvagəˌbänd/
Noun: A person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.
Adjective:   Having no settled home.

First, I can think of MANY jobs for that knife.  Second, I can't see that knife having a problem settling in at a nice home.   ;)

I'm not sure any name would truly do it justice.  Anduril, Flame of the West would work...   :D

It's a beauty, Lin.

Thank you guys for helping me. One meaning of Vagabond is "wanderer". It dont have the negative connotation as perhaps the first. Maybe it will have a home and a job eventually.   :)
