How do you get 3200 layers in your #1 sword wish?
start with 2 layers of iron & steel.
fold #1=4 layers
#2= 8
#3=16
fold #10 = 2056 layers
the very next fold = 4112 layers.

Did they weld a 10-fold and a 9-fold and a 6-fold together?

even if you start with one bar and fold it so fold #1=2 layers, the layering still doubles no matter if fold #1 - 2 layers or 4 layers.

32000 not 3200

Zheng-wu makes blades in 4000 - 8000 - 16000 and 32000 layers.

Manufacturers usually quote a nominal figure such as the Last Legend 8k series which was folded 13 times to give 8,192 layers.
15 folds is 32,768 layers...32,000 nominal which is the figure that 'Bladeaddict gave'...not 3,200.;)
