Knife Stainless
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.

Knife Engraved
Where can I get get knives that I have already bought engraved with a name on it?
Near Riverside, CA would be best. It is for some guys in my wedding party.
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.

Gerber Pocket
Swiss Knife or Multi-tool?
I'm debating bewteen the two:
http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Champ-Pocket-Knife/dp/B00004YVAD/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249524081&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-05500-MP400-Compact-Multi-function/dp/B00004TR4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249523747&sr=8-1
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.

Blade Tactical
Counteroffensive actions offer the fencer a variety of options against the opponent's preparation or actual attack. To be able to use these effectively, you must understand where they fit in the tactical opportunities offered by an opponent's intent to hit you. Czajkowski calls these actions offensive-defensive. I prefer counteroffensive because the action is specifically designed to deny the offense a hit.
Every attack consists of a situation, preparation, and final attacking action. The situation is the combination of the phrase, the distance, and timing that creates the opportunity for attack. Preparation may be mental, the conception by the opponent that an attack is possible, or it may be physical, the footwork, engagement, feints, attacks on the blade, or takings of the blade that advance the final attack. And the final attacking action is the delivery of the final action with intent to score. Into these phases counteroffensive action can be delivered:
The point in line (in the situation). A point in line denies the opponent the opportunity to attack without removing the point, making the preparation of the attack to some degree predictable. In turn it provides the fencer with the point in line the opportunity to debrobe the attempted attack.
Attack on preparation (in preparation). The attack on preparation is executed on the opponent's attempt to close the distance without effective blade action or when the attack is incorrectly executed (for example, on the step forward of an advance lunge if the arm is not extending, or the attack by derobement when the opponent attempts to take or beat the blade). In some cases it is simply a question of timing. You instinctively attack into the opponent's action because you somehow know that it is coming, even though the opponent has not yet started to move. I should note that Tau considers the derobement a separate type of counter-attack, but I believe it is a technique that can be used in both attacks on preparation and in stop hits.
Stop hit (in preparation or final attacking action). The stop hit in foil or sabre is a counterattack that lands before the initiation of the final action with the intent of stopping the attack. However, as a practical matter, a stop hit against an attack that is short or that does not land because of poor aim, is effective because it results in one light. In sabre, the situation is even more complex because the stop hit delivered on the advanced target with a step back may arrive early enough to time out the final attack. In epee it only must land more than 1/25 of a second ahead of the attack.
Intercepting stop hit (in preparation or final attacking action). The intercepting stop hit closes a line through which the opponent's action must pass, effectively serving as a parry and riposte and preventing its completion. For example, an intercepting stop hit can be executed into 8th against a disengage from 6th to 4th in foil or epee.
Time hit, also called a stop hit with opposition (in final attacking action). This action differs from the intercepting stop hit in that it is delivered closing the final line of the attack so that the attack does not arrive. Like the intercepting stop hit it combines the features of parry and riposte. This requires a neat sense of timing and a high degree of confidence that you have identified the final line.
Although most counteroffensive action belongs to the opponent of the fencer who is attacking, there is one counteroffensive action open to the original attacker. The remise or redoublement is effectively a stop hit against the riposte, and is effective if the defender executes the riposte incorrectly or inaccurately.
This range of actions gives you a variety of ways to interrupt the opponent's attack. They all require judgment, steady nerves, excellent timing, and a high degree of accuracy. When properly executed they are a thing of beauty, and mark superior technical and tactical skill.
