I feel like Justice Potter Stewart when the Supreme Court was watching dirty movies in 1964 trying to define "pornography":
"I know it when I see it"
We could start with everything that at least LOOKS like "twist":
Twist damascus
Wire twist
Stub twist
Stub damascus
Twopenny/Wednesbury Skelp
Threepenny Skelp
Canons tordus
Tors ou torches
Ruban tordu tin
Bamdnak
Pointelle' twist
Ribbon damascus
What the Belgians called 'Laminated' but was twist, but they also make true 'Laminated steel'
Maybe it would be better to just figer' out how they made the stuff

(I think the 'bloom' might be the key )
