Pahoa; cool small town contest

[Kelena]

Yes I know, or at least have been informed, that Pahoa means "dagger" and that wood was supplied for railroad ties. Still wondering what railroad ties have to do with daggers. Did Pahoa also make spikes for railroad beds and then did those spikes look like daggers and then was the town named after those railroad spikes? Also, really wondering if "Pahoa" actually means dagger. Welcome to Pahoa -- have a dagger? Welcome to Pahoa -- home of an unusual number of small, sharp, easily concealable stabbing implements? Welcome to Pahoa -- you've seen the Jagger museum now see our dagger museum? Welcome to Pahoa --- Let's scrap! Knife fight on Saturday!

So many daggers, so little time.
