New name for the "Spyleone"

#1

Post by Nemo3000 »

Hi,

Sal told us at the Minimeet, he was looking for a new name for the "Spyleone" Prototype from Gianni Pauletta.

I proposed the "Simba" which means Lion in Swahili.
But I'm certain, we can find some great ideas all together !

Cheers
Nemo

I did not take any pic of the knives. So as soon as MrBlonde will release it you will be able to see that hefty camp folder !

My suggestion for a name is "Tsavo".

Tsavo is really nice ! I dig it.
It goes well with the concept of the knife !
Been there on a rainy day ! :eek:
But pictured a lot of Elephants (turned all red...) and a Cheeta... :)

There actually exists a real Lion Spider (Megaloremmius leo) in Madagascar,,, but I guess the scientific name of it is a bit long and doesn't really sell,,,

You could make a very cool red and black emblem from the Lion Spider.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
