    Cool, so different smithing techniques wouldn’t make much of a difference. It comes down to weight and thickness etc.

      No, like the original poster says, the fancy Japanese folding technique is just a way to make a decent blade from shitty impure steel. Once that is done, you have better steel. That’s all it does.
