K7 or K3 is just too short to claim it's a trademark.

So that is why my applications for "beer"failed...

But even so, a K-3 model would be very confusing after the news of Kathleen (the favourite of many fathers whoze kids loev the band announced that she would leave the group.. So therefore, no K-3

Also 7 days of the week. Also 7 dwarfs.

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet

Karakoram - The North Face

Thus K-7

Bit off topic, but The North Face is named because (in the northern hemisphere) the north face of a mountain is often exposed to worse weather and colder temperatures. As far as I know the company isn't named for any particular north face. More of just a mentality, or was before they found they could sell a lower quality product to frat boys and make more money, such is business but anyway..

How about lucky number 7?

Anyway, I guess that Eiger North Face is the most famous north face.
