Added compositions for all the Cnn series alloys, which translates into AISI 10nn series. Interestingly, euro standards have two for each series, ordinary quality and high quality, where ordinary alloys have 0.045% S and P, and high quality version has 0.035% of those two. High quality alloys are denoted wit the K before the number, e.g. C75 and CK75.

Added about two dozen new names, mainly EN and JIS standard names for stainless and cold work tool steels. Several new compositions for the alloys as well.

Small update, some revisions. Nothing really exciting about that knife anyway. They're still doing the same thing too. I mean the on purpose confusing website. Other than that, the blade is completely dull, and I still haven't taken the micrographs of the now completely dull edge. Will do sometimes later.

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.
