The common knowledge seems to be that forged blade is better than stamped/laser cut/water jet cut/whatever. However I was reading a little bit more in regards and it looks like the modern steel does not benefit that much if at all from forging process.
Since this forum is a home to so many knowledgeable people I was wondering if somebody can shine a light on the above? Is there any real live difference in a forged blade from the bar vs cut one from the sheet. Given that all other things like HT and grind are done properly?
