Think of it as damascus steel that uses non-ferrous metals.  
Alternating layers of brassm copper, silver, gold or whatever.  It 
makes some really sharp looking accents.  The Japenese invented it 
and I think the name means "wood grain metal".

There is no such thing as a stupid question.  If you don't ask you 
can never learn.
