My very first wootz knife, and while it doesn't cover all wootz varieties out there, it was still well worth playing with. Nice little knife, performs well for light, and medium cutting. The handle is a bit smallish, but otherwise it is just fine. No, despite the legends it didn't cut through other knives ;) Just a quality piece with good performance. But I can see how that coule be a source for the legends hundreds of years ago, considering the rest of the stuff around.

Two crash fixes for older devices, one is LG specific I think, both crash reports I've got were from LG devices. Added compression for sync process, which doesn't really take that much data, but still some improvement in speed and saves bandwidth too.

Heavy duty knife, which is well made and performing given its price. Did have minor defects including a chip on the handle, but that was easy to fix. A good slicer thanks to its blade geometry, and a brutal chopper for a 9 incher. Details in the review.

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.
