What would I call it?

[J. Neilson]

OK, Yeah it's very early in the morning and I can't sleep anymore. Too much knife stuff rattling around in the old coconut.

I'm working on a blade idea now that involves 11 twisted layers of three different steels that is then sliced down the middle with a piece of 1084 added (making it 4 seperate steels). What the heck would I call this...just a laminate blade? It's only gonna be 12 layers so I can't really call it damascus, maybe super-low-count damascus.

A pattern-welded blade?

"Lazy" is taken I only have 7 layers in one of my pistol/folders.

I think the term damascus is too general. Doesnt it just mean "more than one steel"?

After the knife is done you will know what to name it.
