Oni Katana (鬼刀)
The Oni is a folded L6 / Bainite katana with 29" performance
geometry blade and a 14" tsuka. Black iron fittings have a oni
(demon) theme. Black lacquered saya and black same / silk ito.
Bainite is a structure of high-carbon steel that combines
great strength with excellent flexibility and shock absorption
characteristics. It has been known as an exemplary Katana blade
component for a number of years but its use has been restricted
to a few top-class master smiths, due to the difficulties
involved in performing the exacting heat treatment procedures
necessary for the production of a Bainite blade body in
combination with the very hard Martensite Yakiba (edge section)
required for Katana blades.
Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process, using billets
of L-6 tool steel (a very tough high-carbon low-alloy steel) as
a starting point. Blades are forged and shaped in the normal
way, then carefully heat treated to achieve the required Bainite
and Martensite structures before final polishing.
