Finally the mysterious Carbon V is in :) Although, as I have learned it was Wayne Goddard that analyzed the steel and published its composition in his book The Wonder Of Knifemaking. Composition - Carbon V steel.

Fixed a bug when url encoded query string containing name search pattern with spaces wasn't parsed properly. Added general query counter. Well, finally started working on Watanabe Mirohsi Deba review, should be up in next few days.

After adding today's search improvement I overdid with security checks and correct queries with numeric input stopped working :) Now it's ok.

During one of the revises noticed those two are the same, just different standard names. Fixed. I guess we'll have quite a few consolidations in the coming months, as I revise data and get more accurate international names and specs.

From now on, spaces and dashes in the steel name search pattern will be treated in a specific way. Considering that the same steel is referred with all the variations using those two symbols, e.g. O1, O 1, O-1 are all the same steel. Therefore, each pattern is analyzed for the presence of those two symbols and if they are present second pattern is generated, which has all the spaces and dashes removed. Thus, the search for O-2 will return O2. If you don't want this behavior, and want strict matching, simply enclose pattern in double quotes. "O-2" will search strictly for that pattern.

Fixed quite a few misspelled Kanjis, edited/corrected several entries. Added kotori bochos, two types. Working on getting photos. Well, once again big thanks to KF's Bishamon and Shinichi Watanabe, for taking their time to help me with all this.

Several steel composition data contained extra spaces, which was affecting precise query results for the composition queries on those elements. All good now.

Finally put back together both folders, Kershaw Shallot CPM S110V and Benchmade 710HSSR #2.Both are at 64RHRC, regrinds done by Tom Krein, master in the area. Really thin blades. Stupid story, opened Shallot box, arranged parts on the table, forgot how to insert the spring properly, took another Kershaw shallot (zdp-189) checked it out, came back to the table, the spring isn't there! Looked everywhere for 45 mins. Gave up, decided to order a new one, grabbed parts opened the box,damn the spring is in there... How the hell did it got back in the box anyway.
