CHOIL vs EdgeVault

CHOIL is the precision-milled digital vault for knife and EDC collectors. Catalog every folder, fixed blade, and EDC piece you own, see what your collection is really worth, and go deeper on the steel and craft than any spreadsheet ever could. Built for people who care about the details. YOUR VAULT • Log knives, pens, lighters, and more — brand, model, steel, lock, blade geometry, provenance, condition, and photos • Add a piece fast, your way: snap a photo for AI identification, scan a barcode (free UPC lookup), paste a product link, search the built-in catalog of known models, or enter it by hand • A live portfolio value that tracks what you've invested vs. what it's worth • Every record gets a permanent, never-reused inventory number, separate from your order/reference number • Print one item, a number range, or the active vault on Avery 5160 or 5163 labels, with a private QR link back to each record • Organize with color labels and sub-vaults, mark favorites, track quantities, and set maintenance reminders so a blade never goes too long without care BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Optional Offline access keeps a read-only copy of your vault, sold pieces, sub-vaults, daily carry, maintenance, labels, wishlists, and photos on one device • Reconnect-aware refresh checks the server automatically; pull down on vault and wishlist screens whenever you want the latest changes immediately • Crop, rotate, flip, straighten, tune, or filter a new camera photo before it uploads WISHLISTS • Keep as many wishlists as you want of the knives you're hunting • Capture wants the same fast ways you log owned pieces — photo, barcode, link, or catalog • Swipe through a list, share it privately or with a public link, and convert any wishlist item into your vault the moment you buy it KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH • AI-powered valuation grounded in real resale data • Per-model price intel: typical range, recent sales, floor and ceiling • Brand resale leaderboards — see which makers actually hold their value • Drop Watch: follow the models you want and catch new arrivals and price moves GO DEEPER ON THE STEEL • A CAD-style blueprint for every blade shape • The Steel Matrix: edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability mapped as a live metallurgy radar • Compare any two knives head to head THE CURATOR (AI) • Ask anything about your collection — gaps, value, what to sell, what's overdue for maintenance — and get answers grounded in your actual vault • Run an AI Analysis for a scored rating of your collection across seven dimensions, with concrete ways to level it up SELLING, HISTORY & DOCUMENTS • Mark pieces available in The Case, prepare listing drafts and cross-post copy, then record the actual sale, fees, shipping, and realized P&L • Keep an append-only provenance chain and transfer that history to another collector with a claim link • Generate a Bill of Sale for one piece or an insurance schedule for the whole collection COMMUNITY • Trading Post: a community board to list pieces and connect with fellow collectors. CHOIL processes no payments and brokers no sales — any deals are arranged directly between members, off-app. • Settle the great debates (framelock vs. crossbar, S30V vs. MagnaCut) with the community • Collection leaderboards, a public showcase for your best pieces, plus friends and direct messaging CHOIL PRO Free to start. CHOIL Pro adds 100 AI credits every month, member-only credit packs (more credits per dollar), and member perks & badges. One-time credit packs are available for heavier AI use. Subscriptions renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your store account settings. Made by collectors, for collectors.

The only iOS app that combines knife collection, sharpening sessions, whetstone tracking, EDC logs, and wishlist — all in one place. No more spreadsheets. No more guessing which stones you used or what angle you sharpened at. EdgeVault is purpose-built for serious knife enthusiasts and sharpeners. 【What You Can Do】 ▷ Knife Collection Log every knife: brand, model, steel (CPM-S30V, VG-10, S110V, 154CM, Damascus…), blade shape, blade length, total length, lock type, handle material, acquired from, and purchase price. Photo per knife. Free up to 10 knives. ▷ Sharpening Sessions Record every session: stones used in order, edge angle, duration, sharpness rating (1–5 stars), before/after photos, and notes. Every knife shows how long since it was last sharpened — at a glance. ▷ Whetstone Library Track every stone you own: brand, name, grit, type (water / oil / diamond / ceramic / strop), surface condition, last dressed date, notes, and photo. Free up to 10 stones. No other knife app tracks whetstones. ▷ EDC Log Record which knife you carried each day. Tap any date on the monthly calendar to review that day's carry. Tap a log entry to edit knife or date. ▷ Wishlist Save knives you want: brand, model, steel, estimated price, notes, and photo. Mark as purchased — the app pre-fills the knife form automatically so you don't enter data twice. Free up to 10 items. ▷ Share Cards Generate shareable image cards from any knife or sharpening session. Post to r/knives, r/sharpening, r/knifeclub, r/chefknives, or Instagram. Free (with watermark) — Pro removes the watermark or shows your Instagram handle. ▷ CSV Export Export your knives, whetstones, sessions, wishlist, and EDC logs as CSV — for insurance, appraisal, or spreadsheets. Free for all users. ▷ Photo ZIP Backup Export a full backup with photos as a ZIP, and import it on another device. Free for all users. ▷ Stats Collection total value, sharpening frequency per knife, most-sharpened ranking, most-used whetstone ranking, average sharpness rating, and EDC rotation history. Access from Settings. 【Who It's For】 · Pocket knife collectors who've outgrown a spreadsheet · Sharpeners who can't remember the angle, stones, or lube they used last time · EDC carriers who want a log of their daily carry rotation · Chef knife enthusiasts who take Shapton Glass, Naniwa, or DMT stones to their Shun or Global seriously · Anyone frustrated by KnifeApp's bugs, missing model field, or forced social features · Whetstone hoarders who want to actually track their stones 【Your Data Stays on Your Device】 Everything is stored locally on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to external servers. No account required. No risk from a service shutting down. 【Pricing】 · Free: 10 knives, 10 whetstones, 10 wishlist items. All core features included — sharpening sessions, EDC log, stats, CSV export, photo ZIP backup, and share cards (with watermark). · EdgeVault Pro (one-time $6.99): Unlimited knives, whetstones & wishlist.
