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.

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

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.
