Random: A randomly distributed pattern on the flat section, with a laminated 'stripy' effect as material is ground deeper and contoured |
Vinland: Vinland is a random type pattern, forged from bars of the concentric lamination type and formed by randomly disrtibuted hammering during the forging process. Vinland characteristcially has a 'heartwood' in the middle of the blade phase, and a 'fingerprint' in the blade tip area. Ground and black bars in stock. |
Twist: Two patterns develop as contours deepen: Cross-roads: a band of crosses follow the line where the grinding depth is deepest. Eyeline: a band of 'eyes' follow the line where the grinding depth is minimal. |
Odin's Eye: Pattern coining on billets with concentric damascene layers gives 'eyes' in the center and wavy structure towards the edges. Patterns are distinct closer to a flat surface, with deeper contours reverting to a more stripy pattern |
Rose: Rose is pattern coined to a knotty surface. After grinding, concentric rings are seen in the middle part. The pattern is more random-like towards the edge. Patterns are distinct and clear closer to a flat surface, with deeper contours reverting to a more stripy pattern. |
Muhammeds Ladder: A 'Bluetounge' mosaic bar coined in a ladder tool. The pattern is best observed closer to the flat surface, becoming less pronounced as it contours towards the cutting edge. |
Heimskringla: A twisted mosaic bar. Like all twists, the mosaic pattern is best seen closer to the edge where the grinding contour is deeper. |

The A.K.C has developed an identity inducing new makers into this burgeoning (essentially "cottage') industry. Over the years scores of would-be makers got started via the AKC, which also provide critiques and appraisals on first knives made by novices. |
