I bought myself a Damascus chopper and I FREAKING LOVE THIS THING! I’m a normal guy who likes to grill and cooks dinner with my wife most nights. I wanted a new knife with a cleaver style to help cut through meats we cool but also something to dice up miscellaneous veggies. Enter the chopper. Firstly, this this is insanely sharp. I never realized how dull my other knives were (good quality Shun set mind you) until I got this thing. It’s well balanced, sharp as all get up, and feels great in the hands; I feel very in control of it. I use this damn thing for everything! I’d highly recommend and after my 6 months with it before this review, I have no bad things to say! Go get one!

UPDATED 07/27/26: The founder of the company reached out to me about my shipping experience. He asked me to try the knives once I received them and if I didn’t like them, then we could do a full refund. If I did like them then he would offer compensation for the shipping issues. Tried them over the weekend and really liked them, reached out to the founder and he kept his word. I’m changing this to a 4 star review because the knives themselves are 5 star quality but I can’t do a 5 star review overall due to the shipping issues. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I haven’t received my knives even though I ordered and payed for them more than a week ago. I was supposed to receive the knives on Saturday by 9pm and never received them. The tracker showed they never left Pocatello. On Sunday the tracking completely disappeared from the USPS site. I reached out to Roman who sent me an email right after my purchase. I got a reply from April who said she was looking into the situation. I received a reply from her today sharing that my knives were on the move. I checked the link she sent me and my knives had miraculously moved a whooping 235 miles in 6 days, from Pocatello to Boise. I won’t be giving a review on the actual knives because once I receive them (if I receive them) I will be returning them unopened. The current link April sent me still doesn’t have a delivery date on it so that’s concerning as well.

The owner and team at Forged Blade are excellent. They sent a warm, welcoming introductory email while preparing and shipping my products. I am thankful for their communication. Upon arrival, I was eager to test my new purchases from Forged Blade and compare them with a purchase from a competing company that has also appeared in many online ads and pop-ups (at least for me). I am amazed at the quality, sharpness, and artistic beauty of the knives from Forged Blade. I recently used a blade to dice two bell peppers (this may have been overkill). The results were amazing, and I have never had zero wasted pepper until now. I will never buy another knife unless it's from this company. In addition to quality and workmanship, the pricing (or return on investment) for the Forged Blade products makes them a better overall choice. Thanks for making excellent products. I will be shopping again very soon.

I bought the Explorer Series, magnetic display board, and sharpener as a Christmas gift. I had to leave a review because this set is absolutely stunning, and after seeing them in action I will be purchasing a set for my own home! The Forged Blade Customer Service team has exceeded all expectations! I could not believe their quick response and attentiveness. Highly recommend Forged Blade!

First off, in my opinion, this knife feels and looks VERY cheap. I purchased the Explorer Series - 6” Santoku Knife. I found the fit and finish to be lacking, the handle to be uncomfortable, I didn’t like the weight and balance of the knife, and I found that the included sheath felt cheap/flimsy and had an odd smell. At the time of purchase, I thought the upper portion of the blade was black from the hand forging process, but after receiving the knife, it appears to actually just be painted black. This makes me wonder whether or not the knife was actually hand forged at all. I would also be worried that it could wear/flake off into my food while cutting. The knife I received was also quite dull out of the box compared to other knives I have purchased. Next, make sure you CAREFULLY read the 30 day satisfaction guarantee. The knife must be “in new condition and include all packaging” in order to return it. This is clearly stated in their return policy so make sure you READ it, because it would seem that you have to decide whether or not you are satisfied with the knife without actually using it. The return process was fairly slow for me. I requested a return during a long weekend so understandably I didn’t hear anything back until Tuesday morning. Tuesday AM: I was asked if there was any particular reason that I wanted to return the knife. Wednesday AM: I was asked to: 1. Confirm that the items were unused and in original packaging, and 2: send photos of all items and all packaging. Thursday AM: I was offered a 20% discount to avoid return shipping (which the customer pays for, and is stated in the return policy) and I was told that there is a 15% restocking fee. (The return policy mentions that restocking fees may apply) Friday AM: I was told that they would waive the restocking fee, or I could keep the knife at a 50% discount. Friday PM: after declining the option to keep the knife for the final time, I was informed that a full refund had been issued and that I could keep the knife anyway, which was a nice gesture by the company. I personally cannot recommend this knife, as I feel that there are MUCH better options out there at this price point.

I bought the Dual Sided Solid Acacia Wood Magnetic Knife Block from Forged Blade and it was very disappointing. The block was just cheap MDF with a thin "acacia" veneer. The block would have been destroyed in no time. The return/refund process took nearly 2 months because I had to keep chasing the rep to respond with return details and an RA. I recommend steering clear of FB.

These are high quality crafted knives. Beautifully made and razor shop. The shipping was quick and they provided great care instructions. Love these knives!

After being charged twice by accident the company reached out and corrected the error.
