Prologue · The pair
Two blades. One billet of steel.
I · How it is made
Folded.
Ground.
Folded again, for years.
Until the pattern surfaces.
II · The city behind it
Japanese blades are forged and folded in layers.
Patterned-steel kitchen knives carry that grain in every edge.

III · Where we are
We know the steel.
We haven't found who folds it yet.
IV · Every side of it
When we find it.
