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.

I'd heard it was 1045 carbon steel, but with the mirror finish and CHINA imprint along with the low price, I'm guessing there's a chance its just stainless steel. Although the blade is very thick, so I'd imagine its still fairly durable.

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.

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

i dont know, it's a Chinese steel. very tough . i would buy it again. unless you live in a area that gets down past -10. then the blade might chip. but for the rest of us it's a awesome knife.

Yes, but this is an inferior knock of set of J. A. Henckels knives made in China. My $15.00 set of knives from Big Lot's are sharper.

I know it's 4034 steel, but as for origin I am not sure. I can say I have put it through the paces and no nicks in blade and it has not lost its very very sharp edge. Also it does have a safety switch to prevent accidental opening. Lastly the blade does have 3 patent #s, not sure how many if any are for the blade itself. Hope I have helped, take care.

No. Its 1095 crovan high carbon steel. Not to bad to sharpen, but then again i use diamond stones. The 1095 takes a lot of abuse and holds a edge for a while.

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.

The set says it has a lifetime guarantee. I found this link which should explain more for you. http://www.chicagocutlery.com/usr/UseCare.pdfIn my opinion, it really didn't matter to me if the knives had a warranty or not as long as they arrived to my door in perfect condition.... which they did! :)

Mine says 4138 SS on the blade, which I assume means it is stainless steel. Mine is easy to sharpen on a stone though, and holds a pretty sharp edge. Great utility knife, I have even skinned a few rabbits and squirrels it.

I'm so sorry but I'm not able to answer your question. I've looked on line for this set but it does not give the information you requested anywhere.It's also not indicated on the knife itself.Peter

Richard, I think I understand what "forged" would mean. The metal 'blade' runs the entire length of the knife with the handle attached to each side via bolt-like pieces. I have purchased a number of steak knife sets over the years trying to find ones that I like. These are easily a "10" in my book. I plan to order another set of 4 just to have some on hand in case of breakage. Lynn's husband Larry

Yes it is. It's 1095 high carbon steel. Holds an edge extremely well. Very durable. And In my personal opinion is one of the best steels out there. It's the only type of steel ill use. ESEE provides a no questions asked life time warranty. Can't go wrong with any ESEE knife or tool.

I'm not a metalurgist but in reading other sales offers from places like Knife Center and GP Knives I do believe it is 1095 steel (at least according to their write-ups).
