Defining is a good thing. Humans have a deep need for classifying things and I am definitely on the giving the proper name for the proper thing side of the house.

I like Armory414 story, a bit of an Abbot & Costello routine there. I can see where that can be a worst case example. I look for definitions I can put on my knives when they are on a site or table. Example: Drouillard's Hand Crafted Knives. That gives a place for the customer to start at, especially if the definitions are gotten out there to the buyers. It gives them an instant understanding on the differences (not faults) of one of my hunters verses one that is forged but may look exactly the same. If you just have the generic "custom" the customer has to dig for the information. This has some advantages in it brings more customer/seller interaction but me as a customer like to have the general information on what I'm looking at or for and than get the details from the seller.
