Season 4 of HBO's smash hit TV series "Game of Thrones" has just ended. As one of the most incredible shows in current years, this is one which genuinely loves displaying its characters' adeptness with knives and blades. Though the majority of the episodes are impressive somehow, there are some special events which unquestionably triggered some eyes to pop and jaws to drop. How can one ever forget Tyrion's 2nd "trial by combat"causing the gruesome demise of the Red Viper of Dorne, Prince Oberyn Martell, at the crushing hands of the Mountain of Clegane's Keep, Ser Gregor Clegane? How about the 100,000 strong King-Beyond-the-Wall's army strike on the Wall which virtually led to obliterating the Night's Watch brothers had not for the timely arrival of the Iron Bank backed Stannis Baratheon? Or the tough battle between Sandor Clegane, the Hound and Brienne the Beauty? Going back further, remember the Red Wedding episode from Season 3? That extraordinary bloodbath where Lady Catelyn, King Robb Stark, and the pregnant Queen Talisa Stark were all heartlessly killed by Walder Frey? Finally, remember the penultimate episode of Season 1? The one which concluded with the execution of the protagonist of the show ? Besides their actual usage, an additional significant issue in the show is the substance made use of to make the knives. In this magical world, the strongest blades are made of a magical metal called Valyrian steel. Unrivalled in strength, Valyrian steel swords are sharp, light-weight, and require little upkeep. Of the minority remaining out there, the most distinctive ones are named. Ned Stark's great sword was referred to as "Ice". After Ned Stark of Winterfell's capture, Lord Tywin Lannister had "Ice" broken down to make a pair of smaller swords. One was bestowed to his favorite son, Jaime, and the other one bestowed as a wedding gift to the ruling king, Joffrey the Illborn. The swords were named "Oathkeeper" and "Widow's Wail" correspondingly. Let's switch back to the truth for the moment. In our current world, knives and blades are terrifying things made use of by some offenders to do their dirty work. Although readily available data reveal that gun crimes far surpass knife crimes, the numbers are still substantial enough to instil concern in people. And why not? Knives and blades are sharp things and are therefore inherently dangerous if improperly made use of . There is, however, an additional viewpoint which need to be given a lot more attention. That is, the reality that a knife has a more favorable objective. Where? In the kitchen obviously. Many people naturally fuss over the hearty meal before them, but they rarely think of exactly what happens "behind the scenes". Seriously, does anyone around ever wonder exactly what type of knife the cook made use of to chop those tasty veggies for that superb recipe? Rather than fussing over the idea that things with cutters threaten, why not focus rather on these things' function in stimulating that heavenly feeling which can only come from having a wonderful meal? Cooking can be an overwhelming activity for some. However with the appropriate devices, the activity could end up being pleasant and gratifying. As one of the morebasic kitchendevices, choosing exactly what kind of kitchen knife to buy ought to be a crucial decision. Of the many readily available options on the market, a ceramic knife is among those worth seriously thinking about. Comparable with the legendary Valyrian steel swords, a ceramic knife is strong, sharp, light, relatively light and requires little upkeep. To those that wish to make their food slicing task reasonably easier, going with this kind of knife is one sure way to go. In the mystical world of George RR Martin, knives and blades have glorified roles in conquests and fights. In the real world, let's be satisfied with keeping our knives' roles as noble instruments for gastronomic ends only. Never forget that knives and blades have different roles in make-believe and reality. A good blade to a warrior is parallel with an excellent kitchen knife to a cook. Without the appropriate devices, neither will manage to complete their tasks well. [http://www.amazon.com/review/R2O2A7K7EEWBAD/ If you wish to be an excellent cook, invest in an excellent knife].
