| What is the difference between stamped & forged knives? |
Knives are available with two different types of blades:
Stamped – Punched out of a single sheet of steel, resulting in thin, light blades
Forged – Made from one piece of steel that is heated until soft then pounded into shape with a hammer. Forged knives are strong & heavy with a bolster (located where the blade meets the handle) for safety & balance.
Chicago Cutlery offers a wide variety of knives with both stamped & forged blades.
