I wonder what they mean by "hand forged", because those are not forged, and not made by hand. Standard stamped steel knives
Let's find out.
The claim that Topfeel knives are "hand forged" is a subject of significant controversy, with expert reviewers alleging the term is used primarily for marketing rather than reflecting traditional craftsmanship.
Accusations of False Advertising: A prominent review on Reddit's r/TrueChefKnives explicitly states that specific Topfeel knives are "not hand forged. not forged at all," describing the listing as blatant false advertising and noting that identical knives are available for less on AliExpress.
Manufacturing Reality: Topfeel is identified as a Chinese manufacturer that produces high-carbon stainless steel knives (such as 5CR15MOV). While the blades are stamped or precision-forged using machinery rather than being shaped by hand with hammers, the brand markets them as "hand forged" to imply artisanal quality.
