Working on a knife steel comparison database. It lets you visually compare steels across key performance axes — edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpen…

I wanted to see if "super-steel" marketing actually matched reality, so I scraped ~500 threads from r/chefknives and ran sentiment analysis on the specific steels mentioned. The re…

Text I built a scraping project to solve a niche domain problem: figuring out which chef knife steels are actually "good" vs. just marketing hype, based on r/chefknives archives. T…

cool, how did you create it? whats the architecture like ?

Hey HN, I'm a developer and a bit of a knife nerd. I wanted to find out which chef knives are truly the best according to the expert community at r/chefknives. Instead of just coun…

I wanted to quantify the endless "which knife should I buy" debates on r/chefknives, so I built a data analysis pipeline to get some real answers. The project is a 5-phase system b…

Hi HN, I’m building *new.knife.day* ( https://new.knife.day ), a crowd-sourced database of every cutlery maker—from Al Mar to brands so small they barely show up on Google. That me…

New Knife Day: ( https://new.knife.day/blog/knife-steel-comparisons/all ) My goal is to build the most complete wiki and social network for knife collectors, makers and consumers r…

will add, thanks

yes I plan to add these

amazing, thank you

are you interested in steels? what do you think would be better?

shrug, if you search around youll see that isnt true

good idea... i could add that

this data is mostly scraped from a few large knife retailers, so should be accurate.

hahah oops, i did use AI to produce this hacker news post :)

that is correct, edge retention, ease of sharpening and toughness usually come at a trade off to one another. A harder blade is more brittle (less tough) and keeps its edge longer.…

thanks for sharing, i will check these out... previously was unaware of these

yes, I will add this info. thanks for the feedback

Hey HN! I'm a bit of a knife steel geek and got tired of juggling tabs to compare stats. So, I built this tool: https://new.knife.day/blog/knife-steel-comparisons/all It lets you p…
