| 70200 | 2002-08-21 04:35:00 | If 7 folds of the paper is correct & I believe it to be so. Then how come a Japanese Samurai sword, steel, gets folded many more times than 7 ?? Poppa John :) |

| 70201 | 2002-08-21 04:42:00 | Totally different process. The steel is folded, hammered out flat, heated again and folded, hammered out ... The paper is getting thicker at each step. The steel becomes twice the thickness then is reduced to single thickness again repeatedly. It becomes homogenised. | Graham L (2) | ||
