Added Aichi Acuto+ steel composition. To be honest, I don't think it's really a new steel or upgrade from Acuto440 steel, their specs are way to similar, and a lot, if not most of the steels have bigger variancein their spec than the difference between Acuto440 and Acuto+. If Aichi can maintain specs that precisely I'm just amazed. At least as the specs are listed on CRKT website, that's the picture we have. On the other hand, from marketing perspective, Acuto+ sounds better than Acuto440, which inevitably brings association with goodl old 440 series stainless steels and that's hardly an association with anything new.

Minor correction, not really about knives, I had slingshots listed as banned, but apparently it is slung-shot that is outlawed. Reader notified about the problem, thanks!

Expanded and revised the article regarding the kitchen knives maintenance. Added another big no, to be precise. Hopefully it'll help someone.

After weeks of no changes, first the discoloration came back, then in 2 consecutive weeks, two new rust groups, one closer to the first spot, another close to the bolster. Strange stuff.

The CAPTCHA code wasn't showing up in internet explorer, fixed that. Bad testing on my part, when I implemented that contact form, tested it on Firefox and Chrome, but forgot IE. Finally, someone mentioned that problem was on the IE only.

Not so sure when, but at least with the new browsers the column manager was broken. Although CTRL+click on the columns still worked. Anyway, the columns button and associated code is fixed now. Something with crossdomain scripting security.
