Two form Bohler-Uddeholm: N688 stainless steel and N692 stainless steel. Both were discontinued, but given the fact that both were used in cutlery, the knives made out of those two will still float around for a while, raising questions about their makeup.

Found more precise composition of the Arne steel from Bohler-Uddeholm. Swedish version of the AISI O1 tool steel and W-Nr number is - 1.2510.

5 new alloys from the French company called Bonpertuis. Actually, I've never heard of them, but while researching one of the Boker knives I stumbled upon T6MoV steel, and then dug up the rest of the bunch: T5Mo, T5MoV, T7Mo, and T9Mov. All are cutlery steels widely used in the Europe.

Lost S6 E4
Well, the way this thing is going, there is still material for another 6 seasons. So much for promises of all the answers though :) For now a lot more questions. Well, at least it's enjoyable and as usual highly arguable, if you are a fan...

Image viewer changed from simple include to more advanced php based one. Displays relevant info from the cpg database, potentially will improve. So far that only affects knives images, but later I'll switch the rest of the sections of the website too.

Restoring the selected alloys when going back from the comparison graph to the chart was broken. I've introduced a bug when switched from server side to client side sorting. Fixed now.

Yesterday the graph builder was renamed from shtml to php. At some point I broke redirection, so all the old links to the graph were not properly redirected to the new builder and were displaying empty graphs. Just found it this afternoon, Fixed. Obviously, you should use the new graphsteel.php ;)

Major functionality upgrades this week. Added column manager to the steel composition chart. Column manager is invoked from the chart tool bar, Columns button, or you can also use ALT+C from keyboard, depends on the browser though. From there you can hide/show chart columns. You can also hide column by CTRL+click on the column header. Added result caching for the steel composition analyzer graph.
