Are these knives forged or stamped?

The larger knives are definitely forged. I'm not sure about the smaller knives, like the steak knives and paring knife.

have no idea or even the difference between forged & stamped-however set is great quality-holds an edge extremely well-had for 6 months & haven't sharpened yet

Some are made in the USA some overseas. However, mine do not have a "Made in China" or otherwise stamp anywhere on my set, not even on the block itself. Maybe for some if they had plastic handles might be made overseas. These particular ones are solid stainless steel and I do say, they have been the best knife set I have ever purchased. The biggest test for me was cutting a tomato and these sliced through it like cutting butter. I have had them for awhile now and have not needed to sharpen them. Both my grandmother and mother used this brand and swore by it. I recommend them.

They are imprinted "Fiskars Stainless Finland" on the scissors' metal and stamped "Fiskars Finland" on the plastic handle of the scissors. These are excellent scissors - quite handy for many uses.

No! Wusthof Gourmet knives are laser-cut from one piece of high carbon stainless steel. This is the new mass production way of making cheap knives. It just sounds impressive. Definitely not forged!

Its probably genuine. The 940 sells for 180 at a lot of stores, so the Amazon price seems reasonable. All the knives I have bought on Amazon were authentic

NO! It is not a knock off,Ka-Bar/Becker has started printing the names on the blades instead of stamping them into the metal! Why I don't know but it will make the stamped blade models worth more in the future, I hope this helps PHIL.

The reason they're stamped USMC is because of the history of the knife's development and use. It was introduced in WWII and has changed little since. It's a great knife, I've had one since 1993 when I entered service with the USMC and have used it as a blade, hammer, pry bar, digging tool, screw driver and even learned to throw with it. It's not disrespectful as it's not a uniform item, just a great knife with great history.

I looked at mine and everything matches. Iknow mine is genuine. The serrations on the top and bottom at the rear of the blade are different or nonexistent on fakes. 75 percent sure it is real.

I'm not sure what you mean by forged but it does have Waterford, 1810 China at the base of the blade. They are very nice and quite heavy.

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

No, they are not. Also, regarding the black oily substance I found on the knives when I first received them, it is no longer a problem. The knives do not corrode, or give off any kind of substance. It must have been factory residue.

It's NOT stamped on the dinner knives, but "China" is stamped very tiny on the back of the handle on the spoons & forks. Exact words stamped: Zwilling*J.A.Henckels*18/10 China

The knives only have Zwilling JA Henckels in very small letters at the bottom of the blades. The rest of the pieces have the same with -china on the bottom side of the handles. The lettering is extremely small. Still for being SS and the good weight of each piece I feel a very good set. They won't tarnish and clean easily.

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.

As far as I know these knives are authentic. At first I was worried after I noticed some variation on the handles. The utility and bread knives say FIBROX, but the chef and paring knives don't. However, if you check Victorinox's web site, you'll see the same variation throughout their Fibrox line, and the knives seem to work as well as advertised, so I don't see any cause to worry.
