In Japanese, “Shun” (pronounced “shoon” and rhymes with “moon”) is the precise moment during the year when any particular food is at the peak of its perfection. Shun is when fruit is at its sweetest, when vegetables are perfectly ripe, perfectly fresh, and perfectly delicious. Shun is in harmony with the natural rhythms of the seasons. Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of preparing and eating the very freshest food at the perfect “shun” moment. It is a tradition we live up to every day, making fine kitchen knives that are always at the peak of their perfection, too.

  • NEW Zero Tolerance 0460 Is a Mid-Sized Gentleman's Carry
    For Release: Contact: Susan Dundas January, 2017 1-503-682-1966; [email protected] NEW Zero Tolerance 0460 is a Mid-Sized Gentleman’s Carry • Designed by Dmitry Sinkevich • Based on Sinkevich’s Polychotky Jr. TUALATIN, OREGON—The Zero Tolerance 0450CF, designed by Dmitry Sinkevich, is one of ZT’s top-selling knives. But some knife users have been asking for a little more—a little more size, a little more handle curve, a little more carbon fiber, a little more Sinkevich. Zero Tolerance has the answer: the new 0460. In size, it’s slightly larger than the 0450, but not as large as the 0452CF. The blade steel is S35VN for enhanced toughness and resistance to edge chipping with no loss of wear resistance. Rich in niobium, vanadium, and chromium carbides, it enables a sharp, long-lasting edge. For sharp looks, ZT gives the blade a two-tone finish: stonewashed on the flats and satin on the grinds. Based on Dmity’s Polychotky Jr., the 0460’s carbon-fiber-and-titanium handle has a pronounced ergonomic curve to fit into the hollow of the hand neatly. The front scale is bronze carbon fiber. This relatively recently developed composite material offers the benefits of carbon fiber, but with the ability to colorize the material as well—in the case of the 0460, an attractive bronze. We partially 3D machined the front handle for dimensionality and grip as well. The handle back is titanium with a titanium frame lock and hardened steel lockbar insert. A matte black anodized aluminum backspacer adds a handsome decorative touch.

Link building, although introduced quite early in the SEO digital age, has remained as one of the most powerful and refined ways of driving traffic to sites. Way back when, there was a time the internet was chalk full of spammy link pyramids, spammy articles, spun content, and quite possibly hundreds of other ploys. In the last twenty years, give or take, the internet has given SEO’s ultimate challenges throughout internet marketing history where spammy ‘anything’ has virtually been disrupted. Now, refined and quality driven link building is the present and will remain the future. In this heart-wrenching evolution and history of link building strategies, the skill has now entered a world full of respect. Considering the battles SEO gurus have fought to prove the value of link building, we are now in a day in age where it is wildly appreciated and in fact, needed. However, it hasn’t been very easy. Link building tactics have become harder than ever in creating quality links that offer high volumes of inbound clicks. Although the tactics have grown harder and more complicated, the rewards and benefits of doing it right are infinitely worth every obstacle you may face.

The Darurat - as it is known in the local Malay language - is considered as the typical case of a successful modern-day counter-insurgency campaign. The conventional theoretical wisdom posits; that in order to win a counter- insurgency campaign, the force responsible for such a campaign must, similar to Malaya, embark upon a policy of ‘winning hearts and minds’.
