Well, the review was waiting its completion for over 4 months and finally I got it done. A good knife, super steel, just not my thing, being a santuko... other than that, read the details, it's pretty detailed, including stats, different cutting test results, etc.

If the graph was built for all zero value elements it would hang. Corrected that. Also, fixed messed up canonical link generation for the single steel case and added correct canonical link generator for the multiple steel names and other possible query parameters.

Newcomer is the AISI M41 high speed tool steel. Similar to AISI M35, but not the same, At least Crucieble and Bohler-Uddehom make it. With that we have 366 alloy compositions and ~1200 names.

There were problems aligning table contr4ols in IE8 while in compatibility mode... More or less ok now. MS sucks big time. How can the script engine be so slow I don't get it. Let alone such a mess with standards compatibility. After all this years they still can't get the damn thing right.

I've been using Krein regrinds for few months and rehardened M2 for over 9 months now. Knife steel composition chart project kept me busy, thus the delays, but I'll try to finish the article sometimes soon.

Used it for more than half a year by now. I figure, I've got enough experience with it, perhaps it was a little overdue too, but with all the knife steel chart related activities, I didn't have time.
