Which is just how mine is. Alternatively one writer (Stone?) suggests that a method of recycling a worn blade was to forge it out to twice its length, fold it over a lesser quality core and weld and forge it into a "new" blade!
I do wonder is sometimes they just forged two tired blades together to make one usable blade.
Will we ever know for sure?
