No, not a strange thing to quiz on. Everday in the kitchen we use a knife, why not know more about it?

Point: The very end of the knife, which is used for piercing
Tip: The first third of the blade (approximately), which is used for small or delicate work
Edge: The cutting surface of the knife, which extends from the point to the heel
Heel: The rear part of the blade, used for cutting activities that require more force
Spine: The top, thicker portion of the blade, which adds weight and strength
Bolster: The thick metal portion joining the handle and the blade, which adds weight and balance and keeps the cook's hand from slipping
Finger Guard: The portion of the bolster that keeps the cook's hand from slipping onto the blade
Return: The point where the heel meets the bolster
Tang: The portion of the metal blade that extends into the handle, giving the knife stability and extra weight
Scales: The two portions of handle material (wood, plastic, composite, etc) that are attached to either side of the tang
Rivets: The metal pins (usually 3) that hold the scales to the tang
Handle Guard: The lip below the butt of the handle, which gives the knife a better grip and prevents slipping
Butt: The terminal end of the handle
Bonsai Styles (Basic), April 25, 2008
Comment given by Eraklis
It is believed that bonsai (Literally meaning "potted plant") originated in China during the Han Dynasty, almost 2000 years ago!
A bonsai master can spend a lifetime making bonsai whilst perfecting his techniques using a range of specialised tools and materials.

That's an interestng comment for someone who hasn't played the game. Funny that you declare it "the truth" though. No offence caused, though you have humoured me.
