App needs 2mb space on the device, regardless of install location!!!
Sorry, there will be no translations to any language. I am one person collecting steel data and coding the app on 3 platforms. I have neither time nor resources to keep constantly translating large database.
You can help by reporting missing alloys, and incorrect info. That's a lot more helpful than leaving utterly useless "I didn't find what I wanted" comments, what do you expect me to do anyway, dream up what was it you didn't find? 99% of the times people are mixing up knife brand names with steel names, I can clear that much up if anything else.
App is no longer distributed in Russia, due to the excessive amount of complaints and bad ratings, all because I can't translate to Russian, even though app's Russian description did explain why I can't.
Recent changes: Fixes missing or clipped search bar on steel list view. Fixes missing or clipped toolbar on steel list, detail, graph and steel search views. App compatibility changes. Target API requirement changes.

Comments on Knife Steel Composition Chart for Android
★★★★★Philip S· Dec 15, 2025
This app has become my go-to trusted resource for comparing various knife steels. It's simple, easy to use, and serves as a great quick reference app when buying any kind of knife. I like to know exactly what I am buying when shopping for knives, as there are A LOT of disreputable companies that will try to pass off 440 stainless steel as "Premium" and charge hundreds of dollars for a set that is functionally identical to something you could get at Dollar General.
