Hello Thomas and welcome. Stub twist is a method of composite barrel making that is said to have included such discarded steel and iron pieces as the cutoff ends of horseshoe nails etc. - the "stubs" so to speak. It isn't what we call 'damascus' because the materials and method of manufacture is vastly different from that of true Damascus but it can be categorized as one of the 'twist' methods.
