Wow, very cool site. Searching for some highly gamed products like graphics cards brings up ratings from multiple sites, not just reddit, and gives realistic results. It seems like it's human-curated for now though, searching for "tap" or "tap set" doesn't bring up anything at all, although the search for "tap" brings up tape measures.

Plus, this comment is how you do marketing well, not pushing your own site at all but adding something helpful to the discussion. I'm definitely impressed with my initial look at the site.

Back on topic, I really like all the different search parameters, but especially for knives you should probably have a price min/max slider. When I was last looking for a knife, it was a PITA since many of the enthusiast recommendations were focused on $200+ and hand-forged one-off knives. I know price is way harder to filter by, but that would be a genuinely useful addition since when I was shopping I knew that I wasn't going to spend over 150 but I also wasn't interested in anything under 30 since it was almost certainly junk.

The knife geek site is super impressive though, I really like how fast and responsive the UI is, especially if this is a weekend project.




Actually i've got the price data all in the DB but was just worried it would get out of sync pretty often and since i've only got a few sources.

Once i've got more sources per knife i'll go ahead and add in "Where to buy" links as well as pricing filters!
