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 characteristically has a 'heartwood'
in the middle of the blade phase, and a 'fingerprint' in the blade tip
area. Ground and black bars in stock.
VINLAND GROUND 3.2
x 32mm $615.00/metre or pro-rata. Minimum cut $10-cms
VINLAND BLACK

Twist Patterns ~
A
laminated billet is rolled to a round dimension. The bar is then twisted
in a special process and forged flat.
Available in black or fine ground surface
standard.
-
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.

Coined Patterns ~ A laminated
bar is coined with rifled or knotty tools during the forging operation
or during hot rolling. This coining deforms the laminated layers into a
damascene pattern. The coined surface is then machined flat.
-
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. Ground bars in
stock.

Mosaic Patterns ~ a mosaic
pattern in the cross section of a steel bar.
The final patterns are made by coining,
cutting or twisting.
-
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.
