What is the difference between stamped & forged knives?
• 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.
