In some cases links to certain alloys returned empty result. Tuned up search algorithm to pick up alloy information based on just the name. For now it returns the first available match. I'll tune it further to return the best match later on.

Mostly EN and BS standard names for the stainless steels. Few proprietary names form Ovako Steel. And working on the Andoid app as a main project.

There was a problem handling alloy names with the + sign in the middle, theones with the + at the end were ok. though. Fix was implemented and tested successfully :) Hopefully that's it for now and I'm back to coding Android steel chart 2.0

JUS is a standard from former Yugoslavia, currently used in Macedonia. May be in other countries from former Yugoslavia too. Anyway, added about 30+ names to the steel chart. More standards data coming.

Rediscovered the source that I bookmarked almost a year ago. Bunch of CSN standard names mapped to W-Nr, which for us means CSN to all 14 standards :) Plus a few more proprietary names for the stainless steels.

The review was posted couple days ago. Testing finished a week ago. One of the most abused knives I've ever had to deal with, and I am proud to have it repaired myself :) I disliked the handle, but for the rest, it's a good knife, with a good steel in it. For me though, the handle ruins it, that besides the fact that I don't like santokus all that much. However, objectively, I know not everyone shares my feelings towards santokus and if you like them and the handle works for you, it's worth checking out. Detailed review is now online.

I figured flat lists were harder to navigate. Added collapsible lists, reviews are grouped by maker's name and the close/open button is attached via javascript. If you have javascript disabled, you still get the list grouped by makers, but not expand/collapse features.

Finally, I've got correct specifications for all of the SKH series alloys in JIS standard. All high speed alloys, equivalentsof AISI M and T series Molybdenum and Tungsten high speed steels. Also fixed several incorrect references between international standard names in the database for M and T series steels. SKH57 still remains a suspect, several manufacturers and dealers provide conflicting info listing it in M44, M48 and T42 group alloys. Investigating.

Not a knife steel, low on carbon, as a consequence, very low on hardness too, but still used in budget and show knives.

After adding few more fixes, I figure it is no longer .0n type beta. So, version was renamed to 3.1, full release. Can't promise there are no other bugs to catch, but I'm working on it. Todays fixes included: German W-nr standard was not working as a directory, now all standards are fine; Steel chart was going out of bounds for certain search criteria, including using AFNOR as a steel directory, fixed that too. Few minor changes in style files, etc. And now I can work on knife steel chart for android full time, or I hope I can.
