working on this now (pushing updates every 10 minutes or so).
should have it done within 30! (apologies about using big mac units).

#54Cool idea, could imagine myself browsing quite a bit, but I found it hard to work with.
I searched for "Opinel" and I only see the suggestions, I would have expected a way to have a search result page because with the small images there's no way I could identify the one I have or browse around in a meaningful way. (Also it seems to default to last autosuggest line, not the first, Firefox on Linux)
When I go to All Blades and Filter, I can input the brand but the results below don't filter and I don't see a submit button.
It's a shot in the dark but did you maybe focus a little too much on enthusiasts who want to look up a specific known thing and less to the casual user who only knows a few data points and browse around?

Done! Just released the update. You can set it either
- in the footer - on the advanced search page - on a knife details page
it's global for your user and stores it locally in the browser :)

#57Cool, a little feedback: 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 advanc…
Playing around with the site, for me the search was also broken at some point. Unfortunately it was not reproducible for me.
On another note I sadly miss multitools

#58So this might be tricky, but seeing as there are different laws about carrying knifes, it might be a good idea to start to collect laws by jurisdictions, so that users do not end up wanting what they cannot legal have.

#59As a longtime pocketknife enthusiast one search criteria I would love to see is a way to filter by rear flipper, thumbstud or thumb hole opener. I spent an hour last week trying to find a Kershaw that doesn't have a rear flipper tab as they tend to open in my pocket. It seems like almost all their models lately have rear flipper tabs but I would prefer a thumbstud.

And lock mechanisms. This doesn't help me find a knife with a flipper and a button lock.
