Show HN: KnifeGeek – Online Database of Pocket Knives

Back then i noticed something, it was quite tedious to easily sift and search through knives based on length, steel, brand, and what not to find the knife for me. There were some great youtube channels that helped me pick out what i wanted however i had to sit through multiple 30 minute videos just to review 10-15 knives or so each.

Recently i've been having a little trouble sleeping so i decided to pickup a new passion project to work on late at night, here's KnifeGeek!

it's a completely free website where you can search, filter, and sift through an extensive knife database (over 60K+ knives) and add them to your collection or wishlist. You do need to sign in to add stuff to your wishlist or collection and after a bunch of advanced searches.

Please check it out and let me know if you think anything is missing! I'll try to flesh it out more on a daily basis if people find it cool or useful.

Planning to add in price comparison functionality and more data per knife in the next week.

PS: Images are a little shoddy, working on that.

I tried tapping on the knife name several times before realizing I had to tap the image.

Back button is broken, for example search for balisong knives, click on one, click back - your search is gone.

Also, suddenly the search stopped working - maybe you just pushed an update? Now when I start typing into the knife type search I get force redirected to a login - but I don't want to login - I want to search.

Edit: Now I see in your description you force the login after a few advanced searches. I don't know why that is, but the experience is jarring. If you are trying to block bots a cpatcha is probably a better idea.
