I really don´t know, but what I can tell you is that they are fabulous! I´ve been using them for about 4 years, and they are as good as the first day. I think they are one of the best investments I did on my kitchen. I really don´t know, but what I can tell you is that there are fabulous!

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.

No, they are stamped and Friodur ice-hardened. I love mine, excellent knives.

The steak knives are stamped, not forged. They are serrated. You will not be able to sharpen them.

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

I believe they are. They seem to be really well made. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I have worked on everything from aluminum to T-1 steel and have not had any failures yet. (knock on wood) ! ! !

I'm not sure about the exact same quality, but I purchased these over 6 ninths ago and they are still sharp and work great!

NO, No, and no! They are cheap, poorly made and not as advertised. My wife bought these for my birthday, and as we have been married 48 years, I tried to use them, but they are nearly useless. Most of the knives have small teeth that tear meat and clog up. I have some utility knives that I bought years ago at Wal-Mart for around $6.00 each. They are FAR better knives than the Aero Knives. She actually bought these from Aero-Knife, not Amazon. When I called them and asked to send them back (Wife saved them when they were delivered to wait for my Birthday) they said I had had them over 30 days and there was no way they would accept a return for a refund.

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 would definitely recommend them, especially seein you cant beat this price for the quality anywhere as far as I have found. they come sharp and mine had NO blemishes and were also perfectly balanced.

We received two sets of these knives. The first set were the original ones from France. Excellent quality and a nice balanced weight. Beautiful engraving and the bee. The box was the one with the hinged lid. Ordered the other to add to the first from the same place and they were definitely fake. Nothing marched the picture. Amazon stood behind the rider but we sadly don't have the ones that match. I would order and make sure they match the picture. The second ones were in a box with a slide on kid and they were lighter weight. They had Netherlands stamped all over the box. I would give it a shot you will not be disappointed.

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

They are not necessarily forged from the flames of mordor. But they are really good nnives for the price. The steak knives have more of a plastic like handle. While the specialty knives have some type of higher quality composite. Blades haven't rusted. Scissors feel kinda cheap. But overall great for the price.

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

No, they're stamped. Some of these answers are confusing 'full tang' with 'forged'.

I've had one of these knives for about a year without it chipping off. They are made really well. I did attempt to use one of them to chip through some frozen solid spinach one time and the coating did slightly chip. I don't know what it's made of but they work and don't rust

I purchased one and it is not a fake. Selling fakes on Amazon would be a very shprt lived business plan. The BK7 is a good knife.

Bonny I'm unsure of your question...."but" - these are the best knives our fam have ever used. Aluminum light weight handle and stainless blade. You can buy these at the flea mkt but there are a lot of knock-offs that will not hold up. If they are used properly(not for carving bone,etc), you will really enjoy them! Hope this helps.
