rionrlty Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I just wondered about the proper pronunciation of the word. Its apparently a German company so I would expect it to be pronounce like "Block'n", but others have said "Black'n" like the color black. A third option would be "Blake'n" with a long A, like the name Blake. I looked on Youtube but could find none where they actually say the name. Since I now own a "Blaken" rep I guess I should learn how to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Oh, well my money would be on your second choice "like the color black" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 If it's Germanic then it's more like "block en". German is very similar to Norwegian and for example Kjetil Bakken (famous musher) is pronounced the same, mnemonically, as Sheteel Bock-en. I hope that helps?

maximo101 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 If it's German, pronounce it like the a in the word hard. That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
