May I ask the comparison between modern single-material knife and traditional manual forging knife?

Modern technology is mostly stamping tool blanks, especially tools and powder steel produced in batches (powder steel can not be forged, which will increase the segregation rate and become ordinary stainless steel).

The biggest advantage of traditional forging is its strong toughness and obvious damping effect, and the long knife with a total length of more than 40cm has more advantages.

To make a simple analogy, forging is like kneading dough by hand, and stamping is pressing dough by machine. Which tastes better?

However, today, far away from the era of cold weapons, the functionality of knives is far greater than the attributes of weapons. Except for the mountain opener, the length is generally less than one foot. As a tool, it mainly requires higher hardness and greater output.

The relatively complex technology and the production capacity under the forging knife are destined to be handed down to the world only as handicrafts.

I hope it helps you!
