After weeks of no changes, first the discoloration came back, then in 2 consecutive weeks, two new rust groups, one closer to the first spot, another close to the bolster. Strange stuff.

Added Bohler-Uddeholm UHB 20C15 steel composition, which is the cleaner version of the popular AISI 52100 steel.

The CAPTCHA code wasn't showing up in internet explorer, fixed that. Bad testing on my part, when I implemented that contact form, tested it on Firefox and Chrome, but forgot IE. Finally, someone mentioned that problem was on the IE only.

Added half a dozen standard and proprietary names for the AISI 1045 and AISI 1050 steels.

Fixed Hitachi SLD-8 steel composition. C9 of KF noticed the problem and provided correct info too. Thanks ;)

Not so sure when, but at least with the new browsers the column manager was broken. Although CTRL+click on the columns still worked. Anyway, the columns button and associated code is fixed now. Something with crossdomain scripting security.

Added last 3 weeks log of dishwashing. Nothing important to report for now. The same rust spot, discoloration doesn't reappear after I've cleaned the blade. On the other hand, I just got a few Global kitchen knives with lots of rust spots. I figure using knives for food and dishwashing them is more corrosive...

1.1535 steel which is W-Nr standard name for Y190 steel, which was mistakenly listed as AISI and US, set to corect W-Nr and DE.

I got the other version, without the fingerguard. I hoped it would work much better, but not really. While it is more usable knife compared to the other Yoshi Blade Ceramic knife, still, as a santoku knife is is pretty much useless, too narrow. And it's too wide for a paring knife too.
