Daggers?
 

Just curious...
Does anyone know why disney would name throwing knives after snakes? ex: asp, adder, sidewinder, viper
I doubt there is an answer.
but it'd be cool if there was one.

my only geuss is that since snakes jump out at you and daggers do the same

They can be deadly?

I assume that could be one of the reasons, but it's a little bit strange. If only I knew my types of snakes....

I believe that the names of the snakes for the throwing daggers that were use are names of poisonous snakes. That is the only connection I can come up with. One of the throwing daggers does come with a poison on it, just can't remember which it is off hand.

adder.
and yes, I think all of those are poisonous.
but I only see reason to name adder that way.

They sound cool...

But Adder makes sense, at least.

Theyre deadly, they bite, and they jump out at you without warning.

I believe the daggers are named after snakes because they are deadly. Viper's nest would be a sharp bite, thats why there are so many daggers thrown. Also, pirates used to have daggers hidden in their boots, I believe a snake could camouflage themselves in tough enviroments.

I think it is because Daggers and Throughing Knives Like Snakes Are fast, swift, and very deadly.
