Ordinary knives are machine stamped from a rolled sheet of steel - by the thousand. A forged knife is individually hand made from a single block of solid steel. It is the work of a skilled artisan. At Mundial, the craft of forging takes on new dimensions. It is both an art and a science. Each block of superior high carbon stainless steel is heated and flattened in a unique process that makes if finer and firmer. The resulting knife blank is then carefully milled, tapered and polished by hand. The result? A knife that is sturdy, perfectly balance and accurately weighted. A knife that will stand the test of time.
