Crucible Steel ?

Ann , thanks for your input .

Tom , I don't think the edge has been inserted , some of the homogenous areas are quite wide .
I was thinking more of the edge hardening process making the pattern disappear .

This is a pretty crazy pattern for a laminar welding process IMO .

Now this is a laminar forged Yat. blade and you can see the layering right up to the edge .

Then again I'm no genius about this stuff , all I do is push a broom around here and try to learn .
