I know Stallones fully understands this, but just so there is no confusion over terms:

Belgium Laminated Steel is usually just Twist on a double, which was given a 'British' name and marketed to the US.


British Laminated Steel is something else entirely, was made in England, and was very high quality damascus


Rene Leclerc and Leopold Bernard were both barrel makers in Paris in the early 1700s, and each developed a method of damascus (which is indeed laminated iron and steel) production with specific patterns which were named after them, and which many Belgian firms manufactured.
