Rev, I sure would like to add to my American damascus/twist files if you have anything...I only have a few bits and peices and some of are for faux damascus...You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I am aware that American damascus and faux damascus were "off limits" subjects [here] in the past...we can exchange info privately if you think it may help to avoid a pissing match by angry readers..

Did you happen to catch that episode of Globe Trekker (in Spain) were they claimed the history of damascus steel is interwoven with the history of flaminco (sp?) music and dance?
