01Drawn out, not stamped · 56 pieces
Fifty-six forged blades from five to twelve inches, most of them sheathed, in ATS-34, carbon and high carbon steel.
Forging is the difference you can feel in the first thirty seconds. A stamped blade is punched out of rolled sheet and is roughly the same thickness from spine to bevel. A forged one is drawn out under a hammer, thick at the spine and thin behind the edge, so it parts food instead of wedging it apart. The dimpled flat on everything on this page is the record of that hammering, not a finish applied at the end.
This is the widest page on the site for a reason: the forged construction runs across nine shelves. Twenty-three of the fifty-six are butcher blades and cleavers, eight are chef knives, six are boning and fillet knives, and nine arrive as multi-piece kits with a roll bag. The steels named in our data are ATS-34, plain carbon and high carbon, all of which want drying rather than a dishwasher. Blade lengths run from five inches up to twelve.
8 blade lengths, each one a link to the card that carries it.
5 handle colours, named from our own product data rather than read off a photograph.

03Asked before ordering
What people ask us about hand forged knives before they pick one.
The blade was heated and drawn out under a hammer rather than cut from a sheet of steel. That produces a thick spine and a thin edge, and it leaves the hammer marks visible on the flat. It is also why these blades are heavier than a stamped knife of the same length.
A high carbon blade will if you let it sit wet, and most of the blades on this page are high carbon or ATS-34. Wash it, dry it with a towel, put it away. If the knife is going into storage for a season, wipe the blade with a little cooking oil first.
Noticeably, and buyers say so unprompted. The weight is what makes a cleaver fall through a joint without effort from your arm, and it is also the first thing people notice as a downside if they are used to a light stamped knife.
