They start with only 1 bar... 13 folds, the first is 2 layers so 2^13=8192 yes but it is 13 folds the first makes the 2 layers. See my last post.

So what is the purpose of folding the steel?

I believe it makes it stronger, plus it gives it that very cool swirl pattern.

 

[Damocles]

So what is the purpose of folding the steel?

It evens out the carbon which makes it both stronger and more flexible, better able to hold the edge and less likely to shatter in a combat situation.

How about "Money Down The Drain"?

Or "Expensive Useless Trinket".

Or "Unwise Purchase I Couldn't Really Afford".

Here's a catchy one.... "Bad Decision".

All those that live by the Sword,die by the Sword.

In Damo's case, he would be standing with a glass of champagne while his dinner guests admired the sword, as it is decorative, and would likely be on a wall in his house. Hopefully, Damo's final glass will be worthy of the French Twelfth Republic.
