[TheForge] Damascus

[Phil Langefeld]

With all this discussion of what is or isn't Damascus steel, shouldn't we 
consider what has been common English usage for the last 120 or so 
years?  If not, then who among us wants to write to Sears and insist that 
they reissue their 1908 catalogue because it mistakenly labels 
pattern-welded shotgun barrells as "Damascus"?
