Hand Forged Katana
what is the quality difference between hand Forged Katana and tempered katana?
What differences are there in the quality between hand forged weapons and mechanical tempered weapons? Why are the tempered ones illegal for retail in the uk, is it solely because they are cheaper to make?
I am afraid I could only find aa difference printed in relation to cutlery, you would have to look at the difference in price between a hand forged and a tempered katana.
A forge is what a blacksmith uses to heat metal in order to shape it. Hand forged means the metal was heated and shaped by hand, not machine (as in a steel factory.) The term hand forged has come to mean created by hand, without a machine. It applies to metals, but I have also heard it used for other materials.
Tempering is a heat treatment technique for metals and alloys. In steels, tempering is done to “toughen” the metal. It is made hard or flexible or resilient especially by heat treatment; “a sword of tempered steel”
FORGED: This is the top of the line in quality. It’s one of the oldest methods of construction using handcraftsmanship, producing the strongest and sharpest blade.
Tempered, blades are tempered sharpened, and finished, but machines handle most of the process. The blade of a stamped knife is fitted into its handle and is not considered one fluid piece of equipment. They are usually thinner, lighter and lack the balance of forged knives; therefore, requiring a firmer grip and more pressure when chopping, mincing, etc.They are usually priced lower than forged.
