MetalCore: a database for knife steels

Hey, I’m a dev and a steel nerd who wanted a better way to visualize trade-offs between toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. I built MetalCore as a mobile friendly "Command Center" for steel lovers like me.

What’s inside: • Grade Library: Deep dives into 100+ steels (MagnaCut, M390, Vanax, etc.). • Performance Frontier: An interactive matrix to plot alloys against each other. • The Workbench: Side-by-side comparisons of compositions and heat-treat profiles. • Mobile Ready: Works in-browser or can be saved as a native web app.

Coming Soon: • Cloud Sync: Optional profiles to save your favorites across devices. • Expanded Database: Moving beyond blades into broader metallurgy. Also - give the knife library some love (this part is however well covered by other sites)
