Stalker Call Of Pripyat
Started playing SCOP. Well, being a long time Stalker fan, I got addicted very fast and immersed very deeply. IMHO this is a lot better than Stalker CS. Obviously, or traditionally it came out very buggy. I got patch 1.6. something so it's so far so good for me. Hopefully I wont' have any crashes once I get to Pripyat to get those calibration tools ;) Finally, after 3 years and 3 games GSC implemented sleep. Good, because the zone is a lot creepier at night...

As I mentioned yesterday, features are up :) So, what do we have this time: 1) Graph is no longer constrained to 800x600 size. You can select from several different sizes, controlled by either settings form, or query parameter sz; 2) Improved autosuggest, which now can match search strings against both, name and A.k.a. columns and display matches in name (alternate names) form. Selecting the item copies just the alloy name; 3) Skipped alloys, i.e. those that don't fit in the graph are displayed in gray color, so you can easily spot them; 4) Alternate names (when available) are displayed in the single alloy analyze mode, below the notes.

Added alternative name Sandvik 20C for the 1095 steel. Fixed 1095 steel composition accordingly, as Sandvik had better and more precise specification sheet. Expanded descriptions for the rest of the Sandvik steels.

The new comers are both from Carpenter Technology Corporation. Micro-Melt T15 and Micro-Melt T15 Plus. Both are high alloy, high wear resistance tool steels. Here's T15 vs. T15 Plus steels chemical composition comparison.

For one, 52100 steel was not listing SR-101 in the a.k.a column, so added that. Second, S7 steel was listing SR-101 as an alternate name, which was incorrect, Busse Scrap yard knives use modified S7 steel, but label it as SR-77. Fixed that as well. Streange so many Busse/Swamp Rat/Scrap Yard fans never caught on that :)

That was the last weekend, three knives sharpened. Easiest, and biggest was the lonaer, Shun chukabocho or a Chinese cleaver. 60-61HRC, and even if cleavers aren't that easy to sharpen free hand, due to their sheer size it was still faster than the other two knives at 64HRC. Well, it'll dull that much faster too. For the record other two knives were rehardened BM 710 M2 and Phil Wilson CPM 3V utility scalpel.
