Yes, steel can be folded. This is a common practice in the production of "damascus" or pattern welded steel.

Why should Japanese knives not be sharpened using an oil stone?

There is no reason Japanese knives should not be sharpened as knives from any other place. This misconception may arise from a coating some companies put on their knives (which can be rubbed off), or the fact that top-quality knives are Damask steel. Damask steel is steel that has been folded several times (occasionally several hundred or even several thousand times). If folded enough, this steel essentially does not dull, so there would be no point to sharpening knives of this sort.

Is T10 folded steel blade stronger than non folded T10 steel?

The way I understand it is the process of folding the steel or pattern welding causes a laminated type steal blade that is more flexible than a solid blade of the same steel. When it is folded it is not molten together but bonded. If it was molten together it would not have the characteristics of a laminated blade but a solid piece as if smelted. Think of a laminated piece of wood against a solid piece and you can understand the difference in flexibility and overall strength. Like that of a laminated bow. The laminated blade would flex more and be less likely to break, strength is typical of the hardness of the steel as well. So in a way it would be stronger because of flexibility but you have to take into consideration the hardness. I would research into differential hardening techniques used by sword craftsman to learn more. Hope this helps. Jerrud
