Are the blades stamped or forged?

I am sorry I don't know. I do know they rust you have to be very careful of them.

They are stamped not forged with POM triple rivet handles and are sturdy. Forged sets are available at a much higher price.

Hello May - 2 b truly honest with u, I don't really know the difference in forged/stamped and I actually bought this set as a knife 4 a friend and it does not matter whether I ask her or not because I can say with certainty that she does not know the difference either - however, from what I've just read you can usually tell a knife is forged because it has a bolster (this is the wider lip on the end of the blade where it meets the handle), and these knives don't have this, so my best guess with this information I would summarize these knives are stamped. Hope this helps

There is no imprint on the blades. The metal base is imprinted with " rubber ring side " in English and Spanish.

The blade is stamped USN on one side and KA-BAR OLEAN NY on the other. I've uploaded photos of both sides of the blade showing the stampings. Assuming they are approved for publishing, they should be visible soon.

It appears to be from the blade, but who knows for sure. What I CAN say is its an incredibly sharp and durable blade for the price, so I can only assume it IS clay tempered. The hamon suggests it is too.

they are stamped Motorcraft so I assume that they are the real thing. I replaced one about a year ago and so far has been working fine. I would nor hesitate to purchase again from Amazon. 1 year I thought on warranty but no sure.

They appear to be cast iron. As best I can tell, this is a well constructed heavy duty bandsaw. I am well pleased with it although the blade that came with the exstension kit was not very sharp.

My set does have Oneida stamped on the blade. Viet Nam is also stamped on the underside of the handles. They are very nice set and have had no problems with it.

No cannot say where this blade was manufactured. There are markings on the blade but there is nothing about it' country of manufacture

Are you asking if the blades are stainless steel? If so the answer is there is the title description. They are stainless steel and are excellent quality.

My knife has the same markings on it. No indication of blade steel on the blade. I don't have the box with me to look for any indications on there either. So far sounds legit.

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

I am not certain if it was cut or stamped, but it is part of the case itself and of high quality. I have it as part of a survival kit.

Yes, they are engraved, or as someone said, "stamped" on the handle. They are very nice!!

If you are referring to "forged" as a fake, they certainly are not. I took them to a knife shop recently to have them sharpened and was informed they are authentic.

China is stamped right on the blade...but the steel is 4116 Krupp german stainless. It is an extremely sharp knife out of the box. It has not needed sharpening or had any problems since I bought it.. lightweight EDC...still recommended.

Can't validate for sure, but it does have a "Stainless" engraving on the blade. Also "China".
