folded steel
Forged blade material
Folded steel is metal that has been heated, hammered flat, and folded over itself repeatedly during forging.
The process creates layers that distribute impurities and produce a stronger, more flexible blade.
Japanese swordsmiths traditionally folded steel dozens of times to make katanas, creating the distinctive wavy grain patterns prized in fine blades.
The knife was made from folded steel.
