Do you know any techniques that a swordsmith can do to reduce the damage when folding a katana made of modern steel?, as you know modern steel is already pure and dont need folding, the folded ones are only for Aesthetics like (hada) appearance or just Japanese traditions, so folding it reduce the carbon content as the result of repeated heating which is also known as (annealing the steel), i heard that you can fold it but with certain techniques that reduce the loss of carbon, i already know about the tatara furnace but modern steel katanas mostly isnt made in it cuz its an Expensive and time consuming method for a modern katana.
