Top 10 Gear Live Videos of 2012
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, USB, Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games, Videos,
2012 is set to come to a close in just a few hours, and we are just in time with our annual top 10 list of the most-watched Gear Live video episodes. Over the past year, as expected, there was a bunch of Apple gear that made the list, and it's dominated by smartphones and tablets, with the exception of two Monster headphones, a look at the Boeing 787, and a USB 3.0 hard drive.
Oh, and if you wanna be sure to get our new video episodes as they come out in 2013, be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, on YouTube, or in your RSS reader!
Also, you can check out the top ten videos from 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007 - and when you're done, be sure to check out the top 10 most popular Gear Live stories of 2012 as well!

Top 10 most read Gear Live stories of 2012
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Wearables, Features, Internet, Mods / Hacks, Portable Audio / Video, Software,
Sure, we've given you a list of our top 10 most popular stories of 2012, but we figured we'd go a bit more broad than that. We also thought it would be interesting to give you a look at the top ten most read stories on this site this year, period, regardless of what year they were posted. We must say, we're just as surprised as you are at what did (and didn't) make the list! For example, you guys seem to really like Monster's Beats by Dr. Dre audio line. Here we go:
- ColorWare now offering custom-painted Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones
- White iPhone 4 vs. black iPhone 4 comparison
- iPhone 3G vs iPod touch 2G in pictures: Odd that an image gallery featuring the iPhone and iPod touch from two years ago made our top ten list, but there it is!
- Exclusive: Pink Beats by Dr. Dre Charles Hamilton customs
- Limited Edition white Beats by Dr. Dre headphones hands-on: You can't deny that Monster has a hit on their hands with the Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones.
- iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. Original iPhone in pictures
- iPhone 5: White & SIlver or Black & Slate? (gallery)
- iPhone 5 White & Silver unboxing gallery
- Bleeding Edge TV 190: How to Replace Your iPhone Battery
- iPod touch picks up 4-inch display, better cameras, new colors, and Siri
Any surprises? We've also compiled a list of the stories that have dropped out of the top ten between 2010 and 2011, which you can check out after the jump, and don't miss the ten most popular Gear Live videos of 2012 either!

Top 10 Gear Live stories of 2012
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Editorial, Features, Google, Handhelds, Mods / Hacks, Software, Videos,
We've come to the end of another year, and as we wave goodbye to 2011, we figured it was only fitting that we share the most popular stories published on Gear Live this year, as determined by our readers (we've also got the top ten most read stories regardless of publish date, as well as the ten most popular Gear Live videos of 2012!) These are the ten stories that were read the most, and when you consider that fact, it's pretty surprising to see what made the list. Let's kick it off with our most read story of the year:
iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. iPhone original:
iPhone 5 certainly got a lot of attention this year, and our image gallery comparing it to previous iPhone designs served as our most popular post in all of 2012.

Bill Morrison Mobilizes for Metro Entertainment
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials,
Bill Morrison at Bongo Comics is putting together a huge benefit to aid Metro Entertainment, a Santa Barbara comic book store that's hit a rough patch.
Bill wrote about it on a recent Facebook post: "I've received donations of art from some of the best artists in the comic book business (I don't like to drop names, but…NEAL ADAMS!!!) and I'm blown away by the generosity of my fellow artists. But I need more heavy hitters to come to the rescue if I'm going to reach the goal!"
Later, Bill ran down the list of those who have already helped out: "So here's a list of artists I've received donations from, or who have already put something in the mail to me! Neal Adams, Geof Darrow, Gilbert Hernandez, Herb Trimpe, Eric Powell, Bruce Timm, Paul Smith, Evan Dorkin, Al Jaffee, Dave Gibbons, Kelley Jones, Dean Yeagle, Humberto Ramos, Jim Woodring, Tone Rodriguez, Tom Richmond, Tim Burgard, Peter Krause, Robert Pope, and John Rozum. More to come, I'm sure!"

Weekend Reading: Stan Lee, Alois Nebel, Adam Beechen and Stuntman!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Reviews, DC Comics, Independent, Marvel Comics,
Whew! What a year! Let's see what the internets hold for the final few days!
Happy birthday to the Funky Flashman himself, Stan Lee, who turns 90. Buzzfeed has his life in pictures.
Here's what I like about the internets: finding a feature length animated film adapting a graphic novel I've never heard of. In this case, it's Alois Nebel, "a Czech feature length animation directed by Tomas Lunak and based on a trilogy of graphic novels by Jaroslav Rudis and Jaromir 99." There's a preview of it at the link.
Adam Beechen talks with Newsarama about Batman Beyond, and beyond.
My pal Richard Pachter reviews a nifty bunch of books including Happy, The Nao of Brown, Building Stories, Marbles, Fashion Beach, and more!

DC Comics Presents: Django Unchained
You've seen the movie, and you've heard all the chatter, but did you know there's also a comic book adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained?
It's a five-part Vertigo series out from DC Comics. It's written by Django producer Reginald Hudlin and illustrated by R.M. Guera. The first issue boasted a cover by Jim Lee.
The whole thing is edited by my pal Jim Chadwick out of DC's west coast office. He knows how to put together a snappy comic book.
Here's Wired talking about it.
Here's a nice review of the first issue.
And here's how you can get your own copy.
Remember, the "D" is silent.

Elgato Game Capture HD review
Posted by Brandon Jackson Categories: Accessories, HDTV, Product Reviews, Video Games,
Elgato has stepped into the game capture card market with its Game Capture HD device. Connecting through HDMI, high-definition video can be captured at up to 1080p (after a recent update) on either your Windows or Mac computer. One of the biggest draws to this product is that it's a self-powered, external capture card allowing use a laptop to capture from the comfort of your living room.
The Game Capture HD was designed to be used with all of your favorite gaming consoles and has even been updated to work directly with the newly released Wii U. As an avid Playstation gamer, the only "issue" with in in Sony's HDCP protection with HDMI connections. Elgato has us covered though and provides a special AV cable that runs into the PS3's multi-port to capture HD gameplay and audio. While the Game Capture HD was created with game consoles in mind, any non-HDCP protected devices with HDMI outs can be captured, including iOS devices and computers.

DoubleDare Books Debuts
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Independent,
My pal, Kim "Howard" Johnson, wrote for Starlog and Comics Scene back in the day, and turned that into a successful career as the guy who got to follow Monty Python around the world and observe them in the wild.
He's written tons of books about the Pythons and appears in Life Of Brian, and once worked as John Cleese's assistant. His wife, Laurie Bradach, was an editor at Joe Quesada's and Jimmy Palmiotti's Event Comics where she oversaw books like Ash and Painkiller Jane. Together the two of them have just announced their own publishing company, DoubleDare Books, based in Illinois.
Their first launch is The Dare Club, the start of a mystery series that sounds very appealing. Here are the details:

Disney Infinity to be unveiled January 15 by Disney and Pixar
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Casual, Corporate News, Portable/Mobile,
The chief creative officer of Disney and Pixar, John Lasseter, is unveiling mystery "gaming initiative" Disney Infinity on January 15, 2013 in Hollywood. Also in attendance will be John Pleasants, the principle creative advisor at Disney Imagineering. The attendance of these two suggests the enormity of Disney Infinity, which we currently know nothing about.
The New York Times interviewed Robert Iger, Disney's chief executive, in October, with Iger discussing a similar gaming initiative called Toy Box. It's possible that Toy Box has since transformed into Disney Infinity, which the NYT's described as a "console game with extensive mobile and online applications in which various Pixar and Disney characters will interact with one another for the first time."
We'll keep you posted on more news about Disney Infinity as it develops.

Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 review
Posted by Brandon Jackson Categories: Accessories, Features, Product Reviews, Video Games,
Stereo headsets have been a part of computer gaming and theater experiences for years but they've recently started making the cross into the living room with gaming consoles. Turtle Beach has been a leader in the gaming headsets and have released a number of headsets that work with the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. The EAR FORCE PX5 is a wireless Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound headset that works with both.
Upon opening the PX5, I was surprised to see they had included not only the receiver, wireless surround sound headset, and detachable microphone, but also an optical cable and and others to get going. The included optical cable is very thin and feels a bit on the cheap side but the quality of sound it provides in my case was the same as a more expensive cable, but I do fear that moving it around too much may break the cable. The receiver includes an optical in and out port, standard red/white RCA jacks, a port for a wired headset in case you are playing with a friend and finally the DC power port.

Model of a cat to demonstrate reflexes, United Kingdom, 1940-1980
The role of nervous reflexes was demonstrated using this wooden cat, whose joints are articulated and eyes much enlarged. It is believed to have been made by British physiologist Sir Charles Sherrington (1857-1952), who was a Professor of Physiology at the University of Liverpool for 16 years. He undertook neurological research on animals and his contributions helped understand the nervous system. The cat model had various owners. It was finally given to Dr Thelma Williams of St George's College Medical School, London, by respiratory physiologist John Widdicombe. Dr Williams donated it to the Science Museum's collections. Animal experimentation for scientific and medical research remains controversial. One main argument is whether the benefits of animal testing outweigh the moral issues. The first organised anti-animal experiments or anti-vivisection movements were at their peak in Britain in the 1870s and 1880s. They led to tighter restrictions on who could perform experiments.

Traffic will be down to one lane at times. New 4-way stop will be installed
Construction starts this week on the Tenth Street rehabilitation project that will put down a new road surface between Tenth and Kern Street and add a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Tenth and San Emidio streets.
The project should last about a month.
The resurfacing project will be similar to work down recently on Sixth Street and Harrison Street and will result traffic being limited to one lane and drivers should expect delays.
The Taft City Council awarded the bid to the Griffith Company and approved the funding for the project on March 5 and at that time construction was scheduled to start in the first week in April, but a notice to proceed was issued last week and traffic cones have already gone up.
The construction is scheduled to be completed in 25 working days and the anticipated completion date is April 30, according to the city notice.
The job is expected to cost about $490,000. Most of that money – $362,000 – is federal money, but the city had to come up with $128,000.
That money was set aside several years ago and doesn't come out of the current budget.

Column published Feb. 8, 2013 in The Mexico Ledger
100 Years Ago
"The annual state convention of the Missouri Electric, Gas, Street, Railway and Water Works Association will be held in this city April 9, 10 and 11, according to the bylaws of the organization. At the next meeting of the Commercial Club, plans will probably be formed for their entertainment whether this date is chosen or one a little later. The Mexico Power Co. who was instrumental in securing the convention for this city will assist as hosts and although their plans have not been announced, it is understood they will provide a part of the entertainment. This convention will bring to Mexico about 200 heads of public utility enterprises of a civic character. Everything will be done to make their visit one of the most delightful these men have ever had in the state."

"A new Mexico post office and federal building may be built on a present city parking lot, and Mexico may get the present post office building for use as a city hall, if negotiations under way for several weeks work out. The city council Monday will hear first reading of a bill authorizing the city manager to give the U.S. Post Office an option to buy Municipal Parking Lot No. 2 (Heinie's Hideaway) at Western, Jackson and Promenade Streets. That was announced today in the agenda prepared for Monday night's meeting. If the Post Office department exercises the 18-month option, sale price of the parking lot area would be $36,000. City Manager Robert Semple said he understood the Post Office department has also optioned two lots to the east of the city property and that plans are under way for the future construction of a new federal building at an estimated cost of $250,000. The city council has been negotiating for several weeks with postal officials and the General Services Administration on the transaction, but the first public announcement was made today. Signing the option does not guarantee that a post office will be built on this site or that the price will be accepted, however, the city manager said."

"The Humane Society offers these suggestions for protecting dogs and cats during winter's bitter cold: Do not leave dogs or cats outdoors when the temperature sharply drops. Shorthaired, very young or old dogs (and cats) should never be left outdoors. Most dogs and cats are safer indoors except when taken out for exercise; no matter what the temperature, wind chill can threaten a pet's life. An outdoor dog must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the animal to sit and lie down comfortably but small enough to hold in its body heat, with a floor raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings. The house also should face away from the wind and have a doorway covered with burlap or a rug; outdoor dogs need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy. Routinely check water dishes to make certain water is fresh and unfrozen; warm engines in parked cars attract cats. To avoid their injury, bang on car hoods to scare them away before starting engines; salt and chemicals used to melt snow and ice can burn the pads of pets' feet. Wipe them with a damp towel before animals lick them and burn their mouths. Antifreeze tastes sweet but is deadly poison to pets (and children); and dry heat can dry out a cat or dog's coat and skin. A small amount of vegetable oil in their food will help keep them soft."

"Audrain County ranked 57 in the state for children's well-being and health in 2002, according to a report released by a group called Citizens for Missouri's Children. The report, called Kids Count ranks the counties based on several statistics, including infant mortality rates, births to teens and the high school dropout rate. Kids Count is compiled annually by Citizens for Missouri's Children, which calls itself a not-for-profit, non-partisan public interest organization that advocates for the rights and well-being for all Missouri's children. Audrain, which was also ranked 57 in 2001, had high marks in the state in several categories. Audrain had only four deaths of children aged 1-14 in 2002, which ranked 29th in the state. Audrain was also ranked 34 in the state in students enrolled in free or reduced lunch programs. Audrain County had 1,284 students or almost 36 percent enrolled in these lunch programs in 2002. Audrain fared more poorly in births to mothers without high school diplomas, in which it was ranked 91st in the state. In 2002, there were 103 of these births, a 28 percent increase from 2001. Similarly, Audrain was 80th in the state in births to teens ages 15-19. Audrain also ranked 73 in low birth-weight infants with 129 in 2002. Audrain fell somewhere in the middle of counties in the area in the Kids Count report."

"In a scene straight out of Bizarro World, Apple's lawyers are crying foul about Samsung and recent Google acquisitions Motorola's allegedly 'anticompetitive' use of patents. Yes, this is the same Apple that has initiated a patent war with these smartphone rivals. And it's the same rival that has tried to remove competing products from the market, rather than agree to negotiate a licensing fee. And it's the same company that patented multi-touch gestures 26 years after they were invented at a research university. And it's the same company that allegedly doctored evidence in European courts to support its lawsuits against Android. Yet in Apple's rose-colored glasses it is Samsung and Motorola who are bullies. Apparently Apple is irate about these companies' countersuits, which rely largely on patents covering wireless communications."

Though Rutgers University has offered online courses to students enrolled at its three campuses for more than a decade, a new public-private partnership with educational technology company Pearson Inc. will enable the university to provide degrees entirely through online programs and extend its reach outside of New Jersey.
"We've been growing our online enrollment between 20 (percent) and 25 percent per year, and we're up to 15,000 enrollments this year, but we've done it in a bootstrap fashion. The decision to do a public-private partnership was really driven by the knowledge that if we wanted to get our online programs to scale globally and make investments to get to high quality instruction, we needed a partner," said David Finegold, senior vice president of lifelong learning and strategic growth at Rutgers.
Pearson was selected for the seven-year contract in the spring through a competitive bidding process with five other private-sector online education providers. That process, Finegold said, "included startups, but in an industry which is changing so quickly, it's useful to have a partner who you know will still be around in another decade."
Under the contract, Pearson will provide worldwide recruitment and enrollment services, increase the number and features of Rutgers' online courses, keep students engaged, and design training for faculty to move between classroom and online instruction.
Don Kilburn, vice chairman of Pearson Higher Education and CEO of Pearson Learning Solutions, said Rutgers is following a national trend of public universities entering into contracts with the private sector to expand their online programs, and he noted Pearson recently completed "a bunch of agreements with public schools in Kentucky, West Virginia and Arizona to help them accomplish similar goals as Rutgers."
In a statement Rutgers President Robert L. Barchi said in a statement the partnership will allow the university to "provide the academic rigor and high quality of a Rutgers education to a broader statewide, national and global group of students who might not otherwise be able to come to our campuses."
Finegold said that group includes active military and veterans, as the university's Office of Veteran and Military Programs and Services "frequently receives e-mails from members of the military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan who wish to pursue a Rutgers degree, (and) we will now be in a much better position to meet their educational needs."
The first expanded graduate programs in education and library and information science will be available next month, while additional online degree programs in business, nursing, engineering and other subjects will start enrolling students for summer and fall 2013 courses soon.

New York Times bestselling author Julianna Baggott, a St. Mark's High School grad, will journey back to Delaware for a signing of her new book "Fuse (The Pure Trilogy)" at the Historic Lamborn Library Building on March 20.
New York Times bestselling author Julianna Baggott, a St. Mark's High School grad, will journey back to Delaware for a signing of her new book "Fuse (The Pure Trilogy)" at the Historic Lamborn Library Building on March 20.
"Fuse" was released in February and is the sequel to the acclaimed "Pure," which was selected as one of the New York Times' 100 Notable Books of 2012. "Pure," the firstborn in Baggott's post-apocalyptic trilogy, reintroduces the notion of the haves and have-nots in fresh fashion. The book follows Pressia, a 16-year-old girl with a baby doll's head for a hand. Like Pressia, most of the other Wretches (or have-nots) who survived the Detonations (a series of epic explosions) are reminded by scars and objects fused to their bodies.
Those exposed to the Detonations who survived are now fused to whatever objects they were holding at the time of the blasts. But the Pures (or the haves) were unharmed as they were shielded from the Detonations inside the Dome.
In "Fuse," Pressia has an opportunity to decode a set of cryptic clues from the past that can set the Wretches free. And her companion Partridge (a Pure who escaped from the Dome) is still searching for his mother who didn't make it back to the Dome before the Detonations. He believes she's still alive. Outraged that Partridge escaped, his father, Willux (leader of the Pures), unleashes a violent attack on the Wretches. The sequel to this brutally beautiful world that Baggott has crafted reveals new treacherous creatures as the Pures and Wretches battle to save their futures.
This could really happen?
While it might seem unbelievable that a bomb could cause people to fuse to objects, Baggott pointed out that her extensive research on survivors from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings revealed evidence that make the Wretches not seem completely farfetched. For instance, Baggott recalled seeing an image of "people leaving [permanent] shadow stains on walls," which she says was created by the intense flare from an atomic blast. Even as a young girl, Baggott remembers a picture of a woman wearing a checkered dress who survived an atomic bomb and the print of her "dress was scarred onto her back," she added.
But, of course, Baggott likes to manipulate the truth when penning. A recent example is with one of her favorite new characters in "Fuse" called Dust. The Dust are vile Wretches who dwell in the dirt and "they pull themselves out of the dark and surround an amusement park called Crazy John-Johns," smiled Baggott, a native of Newark, who now splits her time living in Massachusetts and Florida. "The landscape absorbed these human beings; they were absorbed into the earth."
'I know — it's really weird'
When scribing "Fuse," YouTube played a role in helping Baggott convey to readers that they're neck-deep in an epic adventure.
"I like watching trailers on YouTube that are of a bunch of films all mushed up [into one] and put to music," she said. "I like that reminder to [write] really, really big and go for big moments." Aware that her method probably sounds foreign to some, Baggott quickly, yet painfully, remarked: "I know — it's really weird."
Baggott's process for writing stories involves her taking several breaks throughout the day. She confessed a portion of those breaks are caused by her habit to "self-interrupt." Nonetheless, Baggott — a wife and mother of four (her eldest is 17) — typically writes seven days a week and likes to do so starting around 9 a.m. until her kids return home from school around 3 p.m. Then she'll spend time with them, have dinner in the evening, and go back to scribing until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m., she said.
Though she loves her career, Baggott admitted her devotion to the page often secludes her from everyone, which means there are occasions when she feels "incredibly lonely." In her 12-year career, she's written 19 books, including the acclaimed "Girl Talk."
What's next?
Film rights have been picked up for "Pure" by Fox 2000. The producer is Karen Rosenfelt (of "Twilight" fame) and the screenwriter and director is James Ponsoldt (whose new film "The Spectacular Now" received rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival), Baggott said. Baggott added she doesn't know when "Pure" is slated for the big screen, or if it'll ever make it that far. But she's hopeful it will since "it would make me happy," she said.
In addition, Baggott didn't reveal the name of the third book in "The Pure Trilogy," but she did say it'll be released this time next year. And she recently finished scribing the book, she said. For the final chapter in the saga, she said she was tasked with answering a tough question: "does the Dome survive?" She also mentioned that no character is safe in the finale.
"I'm not trustworthy," Baggott said. "I will kill characters."

Coke plant new home for Harleys
Mike's Famous Harley-Davidson finally will be motoring to the New London side of the Thames River.
The motorcycle sales and service operator, which previously had unsuccessfully sought to open a location in East Lyme, and at one time considered another site on Crystal Avenue in New London, closed on a $550,000 deal last month to purchase the former Coca-Cola bottling plant at 951 Bank St. The dealership will be one of the largest in the Northeast when it opens in December.
Mike Schwartz, owner of the Delaware-based motorcycle business, said Friday that the massive 55,000-square-foot building he is in the middle of renovating will be his business headquarters. The Bank Street site more than quadruples the size of his current location at 1416 Gold Star Highway in Groton, which will be winding down operations, he said.
"It's an incredible building," Schwartz said during an hourlong tour of the rambling structure on a nearly 5-acre site. "The attractiveness of the building was the grittiness of the warehouse."
Schwartz said he will incorporate much of the building's current features, including tongue-and-groove ceilings, warehouse-style windows and steel trusses, into the design of his new Harley-Davidson showroom. Redoing the floors and installing new lighting will be a major part of re-imagining the space as a vibrant retail establishment, he said.
"This building is the perfect backdrop for the products that we sell," he said.
Schwartz said he started looking at the 1938 landmark building last spring, but couldn't close on the deal with the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Southeastern New England until he had all approvals in place.
The building, with its distinctive curve, served as a bottling operation for more than half a century before being converted into a distribution center in 2003. Coca-Cola Bottling moved out of the building three years ago when it opened a new 74,000-square-foot sales and distribution center in Waterford.
Schwartz said the building has enough space for an expansive showroom to display more than 200 motorcycles, along with all-terrain vehicles and watercraft. It also will allow for a drive-in service and parts operation while providing space for storage as well.
"It's always been the goal to find the right location for the business," Schwartz said. "It's been a challenge."
He bought the former New London County Motorcycle Sales in Groton in 2004 and the following year proposed a large Harley-Davidson dealership on Industrial Park Road in East Lyme, where Bob's Discount Furniture is now located. But local opposition eventually killed the plans.
He then had a brief flirtation with a site on Crystal Avenue, but eventually dropped the idea.
On Bank Street, he is working with Groton-based civil engineer Clint Brown of DeCesare-Bentley Engineers, Carlin Construction Co. of New London and Point One Architects in Old Lyme to design a space that will be flexible enough for a wide range of activities, including public and private events.
"We have this very short window to get it right," said Sabrina Foulke of Point One Architects, who is helping coordinate the project.
Schwartz said the idea is to highlight the building's inherent beauty and use found objects on site and reclaimed materials elsewhere to create an interesting ambiance. Lumber, brick and even corrugated metal will make its way into the design, he said, as well as some of the current concrete flooring.
"It's an iconic building, an iconic brand," Schwartz said. "Coca-Cola and Harley-Davidson are two of the most iconic American brands in the world."
Schwartz said New London has been very enthusiastic about the project, and though the business will have residential neighbors, he has not encountered major obstacles along the way to approval.
The business could employ as many as 40, Schwartz said, about double the numbers that work in Groton during the warmest months of the year, when motorcycle sales are at their highest.
"This is a great American city," he said. "I'm very proud of the fact we have an opportunity to take a part of town that has been a little downtrodden and try to inject some life and vibrancy into it."

Categories --> Maker --> Blazen (Bu-Rei-Zen by RyuSen)
Bu-Rei-Zen by RyuSen is among the finest cutlery ever made -- combining Super Gold II (SG2) powdered metallurgical (PM) steel with RyuSen's handmade craftsmanship clearly makes the Bu-Rei-Zen line one of our shop favorites. Our shop had long enjoyed the Blazen line, but when Epicurean Edge owner, Daniel O'Malley, met with Ryusen on one of his trips to Japan, RyuSen agreed to re-develop the line with some substantial improvements – clearly making it a shining star in the Epicurean Edge line-up.
The laminated core steel was changed to SG2 stainless PM steel for its superior edge holding and keenness. The fit of the traditional wooden sheath (saya) was drastically improved by including a magnet to securely hold the knife in place for storage. The English Blazen text was replaced by artistically marking the knife and saya with the Bu-Rei-Zen logo in Kanji.
RyuSen starts with ultra-modern, limited production, SG2 PM stainless steel and forges this between two layers of SUS410L stainless steel. The resulting edge is tempered to Rc 61 - 63 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen.
Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the wooden handle. Both the blade and tang are distal tapered for the best possible balance and performance. The handle, made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin, is riveted to the full length tang and will last a lifetime. The blades are fully honed and some of the sharpest knives we have ever found. Accompanied by traditional lacquered wooden sheath (saya). Each knife is packed in a special gift box.
