Your blades are premium.
Your vault should be, too.
A tactical, ultra-responsive vault for high-end folders and fixed blades. Blueprint spec sheets, live metallurgy vectors, import straight from a product link, and live market intelligence — plus a live-auction price checker, an AI curator that values and grades your collection, head-to-head verdicts against friends, shareable wishlists to track your grails, and a members' trading post to chase them down and move what you're done with.
Know what it's worth before the hammer drops.
Snipe is CHOIL's browser extension for live auctions. It reads the lot as it comes up and pins our real sold-comp value right next to the stream — median, range, and a deal meter that flips green the second the bid is a steal. Works on Whatnot and eBay — or right-click to price a knife on any page.
CHOIL for iPhone & Android.
The full vault in your pocket. The native apps are live on the App Store and Google Play now — build out your collection on the web and pick up right where you left off.
Steel vectors, not steel marketing.
Every blade in your vault renders a live performance polygon. Compare against the S30V baseline — or any steel — and see edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability snap into focus.
Larrin Thomas' balanced wonder-steel. The new baseline.
- EDGE+1.5
- TOUGH+3.5
- CORR+1.5
- SHARP+1.0
Carbon-fiber scales drop a 5% twill weave into the background. Raw titanium clears it and shifts the accent to electric blue. Zirconium pulls in iridescence.
Haptic detent click on save. Spring-physics modals that snap like a perfectly tuned frame-lock. Zero blade play in the interaction model.
Our proprietary process pulls completed secondary-market sales, throws out IQR outliers, and writes a median to each piece. Your portfolio ticks like a trading terminal.
An AI that actually knows your gear.
Values every piece from real sold comps, fills in factory specs, hunts down a product photo, and writes a blunt read on your whole collection — its strengths, its gaps, and the one piece that would level it up. Then ask it anything about your vault.
Know what holds value — and what just dropped.
CHOIL tracks real completed-sale prices so you can see which brands and models actually hold their value. Follow brands and stores, paste any product link to import it, and get pinged the moment a watched piece comes back in stock.
Know what it's worth before the hammer drops.
Snipe is CHOIL's extension for live auctions. When a blade hits the screen on a certain live-shopping app where lots close in sixty seconds, Snipe reads the lot as it comes up and pins CHOIL's real sold-comps value next to the stream — median, range, and a live deal meter that flips green when the current bid is a steal. Seller titled it "🔥 CUSTOM DROP 🔥"? One click captures the frame and the AI identifies the knife on sight.
Whose collection wins? Let the AI call it.
Put two vaults head-to-head. The AI scores both on steel, brand caliber, diversity, rarity and more, picks a winner with a reasoned verdict, and tells each of you the next piece to chase. Share the result with a public link — bragging rights, receipts included.
A members' trading post — never a checkout.
Post what you're hunting, what you'd let go, or what you'd trade — and attach a piece straight from your vault. Deals happen directly between members; CHOIL never touches the money. Community-moderated, with admin appeals, so it stays civil.
"It's just for knives," we said.
Then someone asked where to put their machined pen. Then their Zippo. Then a challenge coin, and one guy with a drawer full of "miscellaneous." So — against our own minimalist better judgment — CHOIL now tracks pens 🖊️, lighters 🔥, coins 🪙, and a glorious catch-all "Other" 🎒 right alongside your blades. Same valuation engine, same maintenance reminders, zero blade required.
The metallurgy matrix still won't judge your pen's "steel." You're welcome.
Your collection stays yours.
We store what you put in CHOIL, use it only to run the app, never sell it, and let you delete any item — or your whole account — anytime. No ad trackers.
Steel intel, occasionally.
New features, steel deep-dives, and the rare drop alert. We'll email a confirmation link — no spam, unsubscribe anytime.
