A clip featuring the J.A. Henckels forging standards from the factory in Solingen, Germany. All J.A. Henckels forged knives are constructed from a single piece of high carbon, no stain steel. Watch more videos about the making of J.A. Henckels products and instructional knife skills at www.jahenckels.com. J.A. Henckels is the manufacturer of the world's finest cutlery. Passion for the best since 1731.

@BubbaGump555 I have to disagree. While many stamped knives are of inferior quality, there are many well-made stamped knives. Those made by Victorinox, for example, are excellent. They regularly beat forged knives in tests. I am a professional cook, and own forged and stamped knives, but generally prefer my Victorinox 10" chef's knife. It is light, sharp, has a wonderful handle, and cuts as well as my Henckels, F. Dick, Sabatier, and other forged knives.

Nothing funnier than trying to pretend stamping knives is somehow a superior process. Stamped knives are cheap crap.

that is why you go through the heat treating process.

Annealing and hardening are both done by heating and cooling the metal. The initial material used and the final treating process determine the "quality" of the metal. The difference I see is that the older hand worked pieces had more life to them than the perfect yet somewhat lifeless all machined products. I like hand work and appreciate the variances that come from it.

It doesn't add a think to the knife, I would even suspect cold forged knives to be annealed and hardened afterwards. You can't make a knife from hardened steel, even carbide milling bits would get blunt very fast.

basic forging calls for the steel to be annealed
It is then quenched in a quenchant designed for that steel, bringing its hardness up above 60RC. It then needs to be tempered to bring it back down to anywhere from 57RC to 62RC.
You cannot cold forge all steels, nor does it really add that much to the overall product.
