Bladeforums is down 2nd day?
Weird. Bladeforums.com is down second day. In its entire history, or at least as long as I have been there, over a dozen years, never happened. Few old timer mods posted that they have no idea what's going on. Sucks. I hope it'll be up soon.

One of the forgotten knives. Found it :) Well, mini review is up. Considering that it's not a user knife, that's a pretty long review for it. Interesting knife though. Because of its distinct shape it is popular with all sorts of occult and religious ceremonies. Considered as a sign of good luck in some cultures. Sadly, that is something I can's test or evaluate...

For some reason decided to run inventory check on my knives. And what do yo know. Found 5 knives that were not in the review database, and consequently never reviewed either. Obviously those are no users, I'd remember them otherwise :) Added review placeholders, well files containing photos and specs. What's concerning is my growing review backlog... Can't keep up with both, reviews and development.

Sent me a very cranky email today, based on, or because of my article - How to choose a kitchen knife. I do get my fair share of frustrated emails, but this one is rather illustrative, and quite relevant to the 'Of Chefs And Knives' chapter of the said article. I'll update that section this weekend.

Just received 3 knives from Phil Wilson, two of those were sent to him for the kydex sheaths, CPM 10V hunter knife, and CPM S125V Meadows Semi Skinner, the last one is the Meadows Skinner from CPM M4 steel, 65HRC if I am not mistaken, I'll confirm with Phil.

When averages calculation was on the table and legend still contained range values, even though the averages were displayed. Now it's consistent, if averages are selected the table or legend shows calculated averages.

Well, another good news. Vanadis 4 knife is moving forward. The blade is ready and all that's left is the handle. Another months or so, he's a busy guy :).

M4 is ready, and two other knives arrived for their kydex sheaths. Well, I should have them all back in a week or so.

Some of the images were not displayed due to the bug in the code. Fixed, tested, and deployed the fix.
