STAMPED KNIFE A STAMPED KNIFE IS CUT INTO A SHAPE FROM A COLD ROLLED PIECE OF STEEL AND THEN GROUND TEMPERED AND SHARPENED. IT REQUIRES MANY LESS STEPS THAN FORGING AND RESULTS IN A LIGHTER NARROWER BLADE. STAMPED KNIVES ARE EASIER TO PRODUCE AND THEREFORE LESS EXPENSIVE. THEY PERFORM VERY WELL AND CAN APPROACH THE QUALITY OF A FORGED BLADE (BUT NOT THE WEIGHT OR FEEL). A STAMPED KNIFE CAN USUALLY BE IDENTIFIED BY THE ABSENCE OF A BOLSTER. MADE OF QUALITY STEEL X50CR MO COMPOSITION WITH ROCKWELL HARDNESS OF 55-56 HRC FOR HIGH EDGE RETENTION. ALL BLADES ARE CONICALLY GROUND ON THE FULL LENGTH OF THE BLADE AS WELL AS GROUND CROSSWISE.

THIS PROVIDES ALONG WITH THE EXPERT MANUFACTURING PROCESSES THE EXACT CONDITIONS FOR A LIFETIME OF SHARP EDGE AND PERFORMANCE.
