The type of technology used with the Shun Knives is divided by the varieties of cut required from chefs. The first type is the clad construction. This basically consists of thicker stainless steel used to cut thicker foods and objects. There are also the Cutting Edge and the Super Steel designs in the line. These were both designed with a thicker stainless steel and a specific angle so that you are able to cut your food more effectively. The other designs of the line always hint of Japanese inspired shapes and styles. Because the Japanese are known for making great blades, you know that you can chop, cut, and slice your food easily.

With the different designs and innovations offered, there are endless options for people with a deep interest in cutlery. Whether you are interested in redefining your kitchen or are working towards becoming a talented chef, you can consider this specific brand to meet your needs. This stunning and beautiful new line comes with the latest technology and the finest steel in Damascus clad knifes. The new Ken Onion, in particular, was designed to be a must-have. Featuring the clad VG-10 blade made famous by the Shun line itself was combined with the ergonomic handle design and unique blade sweep. The end result is a chef's knife that looks beautiful and works just as well as it looks.

Additionally, each knife is molded with the finest of steels so that your knife can meet your needs and can last just as long. The Shun knives are made from the VG10 Super Steel. For those not familiar with the term, this is a new type of stainless steel that has a higher density. This particular feature allows the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61. As hard as it is, it still has the flexibility and strength to retain its impressive edge over the other lines. The VG10 has a natural tendency is to remain straight so that when it is used, the edge of the blade straightens itself out and stays sharper longer.

The knives also come with the SG-2 powdered steel. The Elite knives, in particular, come with this. The SG-2 is a kind of unique powdered steel with incredible edge retention capability and hardness. The end product is a smooth-edged knife that is exceedingly sharp. It has a much higher density and grain structure that comes with no imperfections or weaknesses.

The knives are made using the Kasumi method. This is a traditional Japanese style of knife making. It calls for taking an extremely hard carbon steel for the edge. The knives are then clad on each side with a protective layer of stainless steel. This is actually how samurai swords are made, and with that in mind, you can imagine just how sharp the knives are. The other lines also use the Honyaki method. This is where the blades are made of one piece of steel. In Japan, the most expensive blades are created this way.

If the object has soft metals - brass, copper, gold, silver etc than any jewler will be able to do it - providing it fits into their vise.

If you want something engraved on the hardened steel blade - that is whole different ball of wax. Now you are looking at either laser or chemical etching - or - enlist the services of a local gunsmith who will refer you to his favorite engraver.

If there is not suitable metal to engrave - you next step is to carve the letter into the soft wood or plastic and inlet it. Again, your gunsmith will be able to recommend someone.

Hope this helps.

I've owned both. Here is my assessment:

The big advantage to the multi-tool is that it has a good set of needle-nosed pliers. The pliers on the swiss army knife are small and ineffective. Also, all of the tools in the multi-tool are useful. They are tools that you might actually use.

Lastly, the multi-tool comes with a sheath that you can hook to your belt. This makes it harder to lose and easier to find when you need it. These tools are too big to put in your front pocket and it's a pain in the neck to root through a bag to find your tool.

The big draw back to the multi-tool is that it's harder to get to the tools (like the knife, screw driver, etc.) You have to fold the whole tool open, find the tool you want, flip the implement out and close the tool back up. It's just not as convenient.

The Swiss Army knife has a lot of tools that are useless. Most people will never need the fish scaler. The magnifying glass is so small that it's almost useless. And the wood saw is so tiny that it's a waste of space.

On the other hand, you can't beat the quality of a swiss army knife. They will never break. Plus, the Swiss Army knife has a cork screw. For many people, this will be the one tool that is needed the most!

Both tools come with a lifetime warranty.

All told, I'd go with the multi-tool. Even though it's a little harder to get to the tools, it has tools that you will actually need. The multi-tool pliers are great and the protective sheath is very helpful.

Why are you bringing both a hunting knife and a multi-tool with a built in knife? This seems redundant. And consider changing our your hemp rope (will absorb water) w/ a nylon rope.

Some other things:
- hat and gloves
- layered clothing (long underwear, fleece pants and top, fleece jacket, windproof jacket - no cotton)
- backpacking stove with fuel (white gas/Coleman fuel type stoves may work better in the cold than the canister types)
- for eating utensils try only bring a large thermal mug and a spoon - the cup can act as a bowl and a cup and the spoon is a very versatile utensil and take the place of a knife to cut soft stuff and spread stuff like a knife - the fork is just redundant.
- skis or snowshoes
- a sled to put your stuff in and haul (I have used a modified "kiddie" sled in the past

There's an ongoing debate among financial experts about the determinants of portfolio returns. Some maintain that asset allocation accounts for up to 90 percent of long-term gains. Others are convinced that low costs are the magic bullet. Probably the best course of action is to keep your eye on both.

What this means is that investors with a high, or even moderate, tolerance for risk might consider allocating a tiny portion of their portfolio to commodities, including foreign exchange, commonly called forex.

Indeed, lackluster returns in the fixed income and equity markets over the past few years have sent investors in search of alternative investments like real estate and commodities. So not surprisingly, experts in foreign exchange trading have stepped up the marketing of their wares to savvy and neophyte investors alike.

Among these experts are forex black box traders. These professionals have a proven track record of success in trading foreign exchange. Their services are especially attractive to people with little knowledge of the vast and idiosyncratic foreign exchange market - those who are comfortable relying on forex trading experts to lead the way.

The black box approach refers to a computerized system that automatically executes trades based on an algorithm or strategy. A forex black box trader develops a proprietary model through historical analysis of trading patterns. The trader then applies the model in real time to a computer program that generates buys and sells 24/7 in the global foreign exchange markets - hopefully at a profit but, of course, there's no guarantee.

There are three types of black box trading models: fully disclosed, gray and undisclosed. A fully-disclosed model reveals all about the technical indicators that trigger trades and the relationships among various indicators - so investors know exactly what prompted a trade.

The gray box approach discloses only some of the indicators that spark trades. And with undisclosed black box trading, nothing about the model's logic is known - so either the investor has a lot of confidence in it or so little money at risk that this leap of faith won't keep him or her awake at night.

It may seem counterintuitive, but there are good reasons for forex black box traders to operate on an undisclosed basis. To do otherwise could invite other traders to replicate the strategy. So for the average investor, the most relevant consideration is the profitability of a particular black box model.

Proponents of black box trading think that this quantitative approach is the only way to make money over the long term - and that taking emotion out of the equation in this way is key. In a volatile market, even seasoned forex traders react emotionally and sometimes change course. Black box trading is probably a good solution for investors who can let go and let the model's discipline prevail.

Besides removing the human emotional component, there are other practical reasons for developing computer models to capture profits in foreign exchange trading. For one, it's a 24/7 market - and the computer never sleeps. So whenever the optimal conditions specified in the model present themselves, you're virtually guaranteed an execution.

And, unlike the equities markets, the forex market is very fragmented. There are scores of banks that make markets in currencies. Combine this with the explosion in available trading data (quotes, bids and offers) and the need to make split-second decisions - and it becomes clear why working with a forex black box expert is a practical way to participate in this market.

If you're considering forex black box trading, be sure to use a trading system that features a demo account you can easily download and use without providing a lot of personal information. This will give you a chance to trade on a trial basis before you allocate a larger sum to the foreign exchange portion of your portfolio. Also, make sure the system has a track record of profitability.

Be wary of systems that require significant up-front fees to get started. This could be a red flag that the system is locking in its returns right away - but you may end up struggling to turn a profit. Most reputable systems offer a money-back guarantee if you're dissatisfied.

The bottom line: If you're an investor with a medium to high tolerance for risk, foreign exchange black box trading could add a new dimension to your diversified portfolio.

Perhaps you have seen headlines, which shocked you about police corruption? In the news it seems to be happening more and more these days, but in reality it is quite common. We are suppose to respect authority, and this undermines our security. It is very damaging to our psyche to see such things in the news.

Why does this corruption surprise anyone?

It is utterly naive to believe that less than 1/3 of all police officers are on the take, regardless of which area of law enforcement division they work in. Criminals are attracted to law enforcement jobs, perhaps because you tried to beat them up or steal their shovel in the sand box in third grade? This explanation sounds too simplistic, but if you check your psychology text book you will see it is one of the most common.

With regards to our police, whatever the reason, it should not surprise anyone? Why is this news and why is everyone making such a big deal out of just obvious things, every time they read about it in the newspaper or see it on TV.

Some say the slight increase has to do with reality, not just better news coverage. Why? Well, because local police departments have to hire more questionable characters because the job market is tight for security, military, border patrol, etc. This might indeed, have something to do with it, of course that does not justify any police corruption, it just explains why it is on the rise.

If you have a problem with this line of reasoning and you don't believe me, just ask any internal affairs officer, see for yourself. Absolute power - corrupts. That is a known fact.
