smiffy Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I dont know if i'm in the right place here,(i'm fairly new to computers so please forgive any mistakes) I have a question reguarding materials, in one of the articles i read in the forem. The beutifull work on flowers includes the mention of mosaic steel.Can anyone explain to me what this is as i have never seen or heard of it before. Quote

ThomasPowers Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Mosaic steel is not covered in that article which has numerous flaws in it as well. (eg Pattern welded steel was called Damascus steel at least 100 years before Moran as that was what was used for shotgun barrels. They also seem to have missed out on all the pattern welded blades done in the 1930's and 1940's in Germany as part of the folk arts pushed by nationalistic fervor.) Mosaic pattern welding is better described at http://www.dfoggknives.com/copy_of_index/damascus.htm Quote
