About

Forge Sharpening Log

Features
Read full description

Forge is a focused sharpening log for cooks, bushcrafters, and tool nerds who actually use their knives. Track every knife in your block, every stone on your bench, and every session at the bench. Forge stays out of your way so you can pay attention to the edge, not the screen. KEY FEATURES • Knife drawer — store every blade with steel type, bevel angle, and a color tag so the list reads at a glance • Stone bench — keep every whetstone, including grit, brand, and base material (synthetic, natural, diamond) • Sharpening sessions — start a timer, log grit phases as you progress through coarse, medium, and finishing stones • Live timer — monospaced ember readout while the session runs, so you can glance from across the bench • Phase log — record minutes spent on each stone with notes and a five-star result rating • History — every session is preserved with knife, phases used, notes, and date so you can spot what works • Dark, gunmetal interface designed to read in low light at the bench DESIGNED FOR THE BENCH Forge is built for the way real sharpening sessions go — pick a knife, run a sequence of stones, finish, take notes. No accounts, no upsells, no popups. PRIVACY No tracking. No accounts. Your knives, stones, and sessions live on your device.
