| One has a nickname of "the baseball bat" due its complete inability to bend. Other than that "piece of crap," "what now" and "your my favorite" rotate between the rest depending on how they are behaving themselves.
Spare Parts may have to make it into the rotation as well. | |

| In defiance of Mike in Monsters, Inc. ("Sulley, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!")...
My epees (all blue, but have interesting pads to differentiate):
- The Tiger One (my favorite)
- The Zebra One (AKA the Telkanuru Memorial Blue)
- The White One (that Gamal built, but I don’t much like the set of the blade)
- The Ones I Gave Away (because they weren't blue) or Sold (too whippy)
My sabres:
- The blue one
- The rainbow one (which was supposed to be blue)
My foils (long-unused):
- My Precioussss (the Vniti)
- The Piece(s) of Crap (all my non-Vniti foils)

| As a rule I don't bother naming them, but my spare (and rather heavy) sabre does go by 'the brick'.
Pride of place has to go to a friend of mine, who bought the most expensive sabre he could find, and then named it 'Ticklestick'. | |

| My LP epee, "Der Metzgermeister I," Snapped the FIE LP blade in half a month ago, put a new one on, now goes by "Der Metzgermeister II"
My Vinity, "flaccid," it used to be nice and stiff, then overnight went limp.
BF white, "Stolen," stole it from my friend. hehe
My mask, "Franken-mask," old pbt mesh failed, did a swap out with some great santelli mesh, 6hours of hand stitching later, the best fitting mask ive had.

It has been remade.

| Only names that would trigger the swear filter...
Or, for foils
"Girder"
"Noodle"
"OK"!
Sabres - can't tell the difference, apart from 1 guard, which is about 6 years newer than the 2 which have 1999 weapon control marks in! - Good old LP lightweights! | |

| Just got a new blade in from Blue Gauntlet and it's stiff as hell.
Think I call it "Viagra Induced".
