Yes. Our wedding rings are mokume-gane, which was done by folding billets of silver and gold together, then chiseling the knotted shape... the smith even let me watch him do parts of the process... and yet my mind still can't grasp how one could make designs such as this tonbo outta folding steel billets. The choice of handle and high-carbon steel makes it look completely functional as well... not just a wallhanger methinks

That's crazy, makes one wonder how that's even possible.
