No, if you're forging then you would likely want the thicker steel. However, once you really master forging you can use thinner steel without so many problems. But, the rest still applies, i.e., thinner finished thickness and small knives with simple finishes and materials until the details are mastered....

PS

Or, if your budget is really tight skip the forging and do stock removal. Thinner cheaper steel and a lot less propane...
