I have a set of the Tramontina Professional series forged knives. The ones at Sam's are stamped. I've never use their stamped knives, but I like the forged ones. They don't hold an edge for long, but they're easy to put an edge on with a steel. The Tramontina Professional series was the Best Buy choice of Consumer Reports a few years ago. I got mine on a major closeout at cooks.com several years ago for pennies on the dollar.
