User Reviews for Knife Steel Composition Chart

Absolutely Awesome App!

My “GoTo” reference for knife and tool steel composition! Dead useful. I ran across a typo last year, sent developer an email with a correction, and he got back to me the next day, then posted the correction the day after that! Talk about responsiveness!useful. There is nothing like it for anybody interested in knife steel or tool steel composition. It makes comparing different steels fast and effortless.Way to go, ZviSoft!

Great Tool

As a professional blade sharpener, I’ve come to rely on this outstanding tool especially when working with collectible blades, or exotic blades carried and used by international adventurers or High Dollar Beauticians!I do all of my work manually... no belts, grinders, wheels, motors, etc so knowing what to expect from the blade is critical to the outcome of the job.Thanks for this great tool! I would gladly pay an annual subscription for it!!

Solid reference for evaluating and choosing steels

This is really the only game in town. A well written, easy to navigate app with useful and appropriate commentary. Pulls the so many many hundreds of current and recent steels into some order, so you can begin to understand what makes a good steel (why is lowly ol’ 420HC the chemical basis of many 21st century super steels? How about 1095 and D2, why are they still around? Read on). Not perfect, and necessarily incomplete. We wish Zvi would issue a true 2.0, we’d gladly pay for that!

Always know what you’re getting

This is extremely useful so that you know the composition of the steel you are getting. I never believe the hype, unless it matches the facts, in which case it changes from hype to facts. “High carbon” becomes high carbon when the composition findings confirm that. Never buy a knife without knowing what it is really made of. It’s too bad razor blade makers don’t tell what steel they use, much less it’s composition. So far, I have found just one that does that.

Wonderful quick reference tool

I’ve no technical qualifications to judge—let me admit that—but I have found this very helpful, better that scrolling through bookmarks to various steel manufacturers , and I haven’t questionable information when researching further. The information is cross indexed well. This is a super reference tool.

Handy reference

Great for double checking steel content, and when provided, the comments are a welcome and valuable. I’m hoping the comment section is expanded regularly. Would love to see more heat treat info, history, pros/cons info, etc. Regardless, I highly recommend. Always use sources to double check when necessary.

Best App For knife Steel Info

This is by far the best app hands down for when I have to look up a blade steel and do some comparison. It has not let me down, and is spot on with all the info it gives. It is also recommended by many fellow knife enthusiasts and YouTubers. If you need one app that can keep you informed, get this one and it will not let you down.

Bare-essentials steel-metallurgy reference

Invaluable, exhaustive compilation of information on various steels right down to their recipes, often including material characteristics of the steel, and comparisons with similar or alternative blends. Well organized and void of any non-essential functions, it's got it where it counts—fast responding, easy to read, effective and efficient. Good work!

Great app

If you are a knife lover and want to learn about the steel you are about to purchase this is the app for you. I’ve been a knife fighter and teacher for close to 40 years and this app is awesome! I know most of my steels but their are new ones coming out constantly now and the app writer does his absolute best to compare likeness which can be incredibly helpful. Thank you for making this app!

Thanks for making me look smart.

So, when buying knives, many throw the steel types of the knives they are selling around as if they know what they are talking about. NOT! I pull up the app, never saying a word about such a comprehensive app I am reviewing and figure out wether I buy or walk. Most times, I am walking away. I also, in my own way, determine a price I am willing to pay for a knife post the app review. Sometimes, depending on the seller I may engage him with some verbal knife fighting, and get my price. Looking for updates to keep me looped in. Thank you kindly.Retired FLEO, Chicago, IL.

Description

Knife Steel Composition and name cross-reference database. Includes popular, high end and exotic alloys used in knife blades. Over 6500 alloy names, over 1000 compositions.

Alloy names for 21 different international standards, proprietary names and their equivalents. Easy alloy composition comparison with bar graph in 3 modes: mass percentage, molar masses and atomic count per 1000 atoms. If you have suggestions for improvement, please contact me. Posting in the review that there's a room for improvement doesn't help me at all, I am not a designer, but a software engineer. Please report missing alloys, as in either post the alloy name, or contact me. Complaining in the review "I didn't find what I wanted" means very little. If you encounter any problems using the app, please contact me using email. Posting in the review you have a problem, won't give me enough information to fix it. Sorry, there will be no translations to any language. There is no team, I am just one person collecting steel data and coding the app on web and mobile platforms. I have neither time nor resources to keep constantly translating large database. Case CV has been the database for a long time. Search for Case does show in the results. Case isn't the steel maker though.
