Counterfold

Counterfold is a mixture of white paper steel and 1.2842. The layer count is taken to around 150 layers and then the billet is set on its side and the side grain is hammered down into a long plate. This is then folded and welded three times, then turned again and squared into a long square bar, 5 bars thick and forge welded. Then the bar is cut in the middle and folded on itself and then forge welded creating 10 bars. 

This makes a very good cutting edge for a user knife.
