Added about 180 new names for CSN, DIN, W-Nr and GOST standards to existing steel compositions. So, for now you can identify about 1800 steel names! Never thought there were so many steels used in knives though. And by my rough estimates that's not even 60% of the names for the ones that are already in the chart. I'm still missing bunch of standard names for many steels, nevermind the fact that I only have the most widespread standards.

After 6 month I finally found more info on that mysterious steel :) Well, it's nothing mysterious, Metal Ravne makes it under OCR3 name and it's DIN name is 140Cr3. Anyway, nothing huge, but still, I'm glad I found additional info I was looking for.

The single steel mode displays all the notes associated with the steel group, not just the note for the single record. E.g. when looking at CPM 10V or K294 or any other alloy from AISI A11 group you will see notes for all of them, not just one. This was done to be able to see notes for the steels that have associated names, but share composition with other steels.
