Forged vs. Stamped vs. MKC Knives: The Real Differences Media
Published: 1 year ago
What’s better: forged knives or stamped knives? This is a debate as old as time — at least, it’s been going on since I started making knives.
If you want the short answer, it’s really a question of the heat treatment and the selection of steel.
Forged knives are typically considered higher quality, whether they deserve that title or not. Most people simply assume handmade items are higher quality.
But that isn’t always true. Take jewelry, for example: A factory-made necklace will usually turn out better than a custom necklace made by someone with little to no experience. The same is true with knives.
