Sorry, I've been offline while Charter had to collect their hamsters and get them all back in the proper wheels.
I'll clear up any lingering confusion anyone might have.
As an American Bladesmith Society member for a few years as well as a National Knife Collectors Association member for much longer I've dealt with terms and definitions and their nuances for a while when it comes to characterizing blades and the process of crafting them. A forged blade only comes from forging the blade to shape and not from stock reduction of a billet forged to working thickness.
The King Dozer knife isn't a forged knife because it wasn't forged to shape, liontribe did say it wasn't forged to shape, regardless of whether the billet was forged down to a working thickness by hand or machine. It is a nifty stock reduction knife, taking nothing away from the craft and appeal of it other than the question over the terminology. A lot of smiths will tell you that forging a blade will improve grain properties and I've heard the discussions of whether just forging the billets before forging the blade will produce some of the same benefits. The general consensus is that it will not produce all the desirable results (edge packing, grain refinement, ...), but it will produce alignment/refinement enough to have a benefit.
There aren't as many smiths forging blades as there are knifemakers that grind from the start, but there are quite a few in the ABS and even more that aren't affiliated. At least in this part of the country we have plenty, but it takes all the equipment of any knifemaker PLUS the gear and space for it of forge, anvil, tools, etc. for bladesmithing.
Hope that clears up any lingering doubts.
