      A forged knife is made of a single bar of steel, which is heated and then pounded into shape, often by a specially trained craftsman. The alternative is a stamped knife, in which the blade is "stamped" or cut out from a large sheet of steel, and then the blade is honed and heat-treated for durability. A forged knife is typically heavier by several ounces than a stamped knife.

        Think of a blacksmith making horse shoes from a bar of steel, they heated and shaped them by pounding on the molten steel with a hammer on the anvil, the same for a forged knife, it is very superior!
