Knives can either have forged or stamped blades. To manufacture a forged blade, a hot piece of steel is pressed into a blade mold and then hammered into shape. Forged blades can often be identified by the presence of a bolster, which is the thick piece of metal (collar) at the end of the blade, just before the handle. A bolster gives the knife heft and balance, along with a comfortable and protected area for your fingers to be placed, providing better control over the knife while cutting. Forged blades are generally thicker than stamped blades, adding weight and strength.

Stamped blades are cut from a flat sheet of steel. The blade is then ground, tempered, polished, and sharpened. They are thinner and flatter than forged blades, making them lighter and easier to sharpen. Forged blades are usually considered to be better quality than stamped versions, and so are more expensive. There are certainly excellent stamped blade knives on the market, however, so do your research!
