Naming Weapons

[Sam Wiley]

How many of you have followed the tradition of naming weapons? And what are the names of your weapons if you have?

I name mine according to their "personalities."

I have a Jian named Iron Cloud.
A Gun named Ash.
A pair of twin short swords named Magni and Modhi.

Anybody else?

...but now I have way too many weapons to name. I can't even keep them clean anymore. When I was dealing weapons, that severed any attachments that might be named.

a friend named his staff Calista Flockheart.

[Sam Wiley]

Oh, that's mean. It's funny as Hell, but it's mean, man.

Hey Gene,
Sounds like you need to get rid of some of them. I'm accepting donations...hint, hint.:D

Oh and by the way, that's "Gun" as in staff, not as in firearm.

My kung fu brother named his staff "The Staff of Sure Death". It was a sad day when it finally cracked from use, but he cut it into smaller lengths that lived on for a while as "The Drumsticks of Sure Death" for the Lion Dance team.

I think that was the only weapon ever named at our school.

I honestly don't know any of them well enough to name yet, maybe the nunchukus from back in the Issin-Ryu days -- I actually pulled them out last night with my sai's for a trip dowm memory lane.
