so from my understanding, this is still considered san mai construction (3 layers)? And 67 layers mean, vg10 core, and one 33 layered steel forged together on each side? How does this differ in terms of edge retention when compared to the 3-layer forged? Or is it purely aesthetics?

MarcusKThe extra layers are purely for looks. Only the inner core counts for the "edge" if it's san mai. The many layers in the outer steel account for the pattern (pattern welded). This could STILL be a solid pattern welded blade and not san mai. Still not sure how they folded to get 67 layers. Doesn't really add up, even if they did san mai.
