FORGED
Forging is a knife production process that involves heating the steel to a high temperature and shaping it through repeated hammering. This method creates a strong and durable blade with improved structural integrity. The forging process aligns the steel’s grain structure, resulting in enhanced strength, toughness, and resistance to wear, making forged knives highly reliable and capable of withstanding rigorous use.

STAMPED
Stamped knives are manufactured by cutting the blade shape from a large sheet of steel using a hydraulic press. The blades are then ground, tempered, and finished. Stamped knives are generally lighter and more affordable but may lack the same strength and durability as forged knives.
Strength is a crucial factor in knives as it determines their ability to withstand pressure and resist bending or breaking. Forged knives are known for their superior strength due to the forging process, which involves heating and shaping the steel. The repeated hammering and folding of the metal during forging enhance its molecular structure, resulting in a stronger and more durable blade.

LASER CUTTING
Laser cutting is a precise and efficient method used in knife production. A high-powered laser beam is focused on the knife material, melting or vaporizing it to create precise cuts and edges. This process allows for intricate designs, tight tolerances, and minimal material waste. Laser-cut knives can exhibit excellent strength due to the precise control over the cutting process, resulting in clean edges and minimal structural damage to the material. Additionally, the reduced heat-affected zone in laser cutting helps maintain the inherent strength of the knife material, ensuring durability and reliability in the final product.
