Lace cut

Lace cut ( Pomarkku FI)

The top cut is a coat of arms cut as a herald image .

The point angle determines the cut. The gusset cut has 60 degrees, the tooth cut 45 degrees and the tip cut (in the narrower sense of German usage) 75 degrees. When the tips are very narrow and fine, they become a saw cut . In French / English ( French émanché or English pily ), on the other hand, the tip cut is often pulled through to near the edge of the shield without explicitly indicating this (serrated cut) .

If there are a few peaks, the number is sometimes given, e.g. B. with four overturned points , but the point actually goes right through to the bottom, so they are separated (point and counter point): A real point cut with a fixed number of points should be added to the number in brackets (also halves, but the count is inconsistent ). Historically, however, the two forms can merge, since they were viewed as the same image. Especially when depicting a mountain with three peaks (as a variant of the Dreiberg ), the blazon as “peak”, “peak cut” or “mountain” is flowing (the mountain usually, but not necessarily, has a raised central peak).

In general, the tips are still upright in the case of oblique division in the German view. If the tip is not symmetrical, the vertical side of the tip is indicated in the description of the coat of arms, as well as if it is approximately normal to the slope.
