Nope, just the uninspired name choice. As he has knives instead of hooks or barbs, the term ripper is a little inaccurate. Perhaps "butcher", "slaughterman" or "exsanguinator".

As well as his knives, he should have had flesh hooks that were attached to tendrils of chains woven with exposed muscle fibres and razor wire that seek nearby heat sources, weave in and out of them before pulling themselves taut in a spray of offal.

That and the ability to warp the flesh of his victims. Imagine your arm or leg cracking and reshaping itself, swelling to twice its sides, clawed limbs burst out of the swollen flesh and  you feel a sharp pain in your hand. Before you can think of anything, your arm raises itself to your face and the last thing you see is a circular gash-like mouth lined with rows upon rows of tiny translucent teeth.
