The number of times Damascus steel is folded can vary widely depending on the desired characteristics of the final blade. Traditionally, it could be folded anywhere from 5 to 50 times, with each fold multiplying the layers of steel and creating unique patterns. However, modern blacksmiths may choose to fold it more or fewer times based on specific techniques or desired results. Ultimately, the folding process enhances the steel's strength and aesthetic appeal.

You will notice many small lines,circular lines through the steel. Damascus is actually laminated steel which could accept the much lighter pressure made by black powder shot shells. If the fine lines are visible in an area where the steel is lightly worn, then the barrel is likely damascus. If the lines are not visible, it is possibly "fluid" steel, meaning that it's not damascus. Up until early in the 20th century, gun manufacturers attempted to duplicate the appearance of damascus on what were stronger barrels. In either case, do not shoot the gun until you have had a gunsmith check it out.

A katana is typically folded around 10 to 16 times during the forging process.
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
