Gentleman's knife from Spyderco, and it looks very good at that, how cool huh ;) Anyway, small folding knife, not scary even for non knife crowd, and very well made piece too. I do like Titanium handles, and very high cutting ability even more. Carpenter CTS-XHP steel was new for me, and one of the reasons I got the knife. In the end, it worked out pretty good in all areas. Details in the review.

The very first Spyderco mega folder. I waited for it almost a year. Quite a knife to say the least. New PowerLock locking mechanism to boot. Can't say I am too excited about Takefu VG-10 steel, but it will do the job, no questions asked. Just, I'd rather have more interesting alloy in that knife, but whatever. Quality piece, solid construction, no defects. Performance is very good for what it is. Been EDC-ing it for few months, only positive impressions. Details in the review.

Several fixes, mainly related to UI drawing and scaling for various screen sizes. Considerable improvement in steel browser's initial loading time. New and improved crash reporter.

Sample knife received from Chroma cutlery, in response to earlier negative reviews. 2014 Model P02 Santoku did work levels above the old batch. Overall, outperformed mainstream western knives, and was in the same league with Global knives I've tested before. Not really surprising considering that both, Type 301 steel and CROMOVA 18 steel are both based on the Aichi AUS-6M steel.

After more than 6 months of waiting, finally Spyderco Tatanka arrived. I know it was a big knife, but when I opened the box it still felt bigger than expected. Especially the handle. I really like the blade geometry, and Takefu VG-10 stainless steel is always a solid choice, although one could definitely do better. Review coming soon.

More than hundred new names added during last 2 weeks. More than half of those are W-Nr and DIN tool steel names, and somehow I was sure I had most of them covered. Doug up one more steel maker form France, Akers, added most of their tool steels and high speed steels as well. Pain in the a$$ to be honest, they do not list equivalents on their site, had to search individual compositions one by one to find what group they belong to.

After last few days of intensive steel data source scouring, 6000 mark has been surpassed :) That's a lot of alloys. Did major data integrity check today, found a few errors, obviously fixed them all. I'll probably add new standards as well.

New features, bug fixes, and most importantly big performance improvements.

New design, or perhaps an evolution of Benchmade 940 Osborne. Has been out for some time, but I wanted something better than CPM S30V steel, which is a very solid knife steel on its own. Eventually, KnifeWorks had an exclusive run of Contegos, in Bohler-Uddeholm M390 steel. That was in December 2013. Have been carrying since then, and finally managed to allocate time to collect notes and compile a review.
