Where you can buy a folded steel katana that has been folded 200 times?
Nowhere. Stop believing movies are real. Folding modern steel doesn't make it better, anyway. 16th-century steel sucked and it was folded to make it suck less.
What gives samurai sword its strength?
It is made of steel that is folded 1000 times This is incorrect. The Japanese never folded a blade more than 15-16 times, 16 folds creates 2 to the 16th power layers of steel in the blade. This is more than 65,000 layers. Folding it any more than this creates a blade with an homogeneous effect, which is what you started with in the first place, before it was folded at all. This is why they did not go any further than 16 folds because it is counter productive. The samurai swords strength and weaknesses depends on the type of blade with which it is made from. This is the major factor which plays an important role in identifying the quality of a real samurai sword.
How many layers in a Japanese sword?
It depends on the smith. Shinganae is generally folded about 10 times, resulting in about a 1000 layers. Kawagane is folded anywhere from 12 to 16 times, depending on the smith and the metal he is working with, and so could have from 4000 to 65000 layers.
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.

What Metal is used for making swords?
Damascus SteelI believe this is what they are looking for. It's the answer to the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle clue.ANSWER:It depends on the sword in question. If you wan to buy a cheap-o, decoration sword, they are made with aluminum or stainless steel. If you are looking for a real sword, it's made of high carbon steel (the higher the number, the stronger it is. 700+ is fine, I think.)
What is the formula to determine how many sides when a piece of paper is folded in half repeatedly?
If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16
