712 is a 1991 album by the Japanese rock trio Shonen Knife.[5][6] Using goroawase (語呂合わせ, "phonetic matching"), "712" can be read as "na-i-fu" (ナイフ), the Japanese imported word for "knife".

The Japanese re-issue of this CD does not include the song "Baggs" (co-written with members of L7), instead featuring a new song "Cooking Story".
