The
Oni are mythical creatures from Japanese folklore similar
to western demons or trolls. In modern culture they are
beginning to move away from this menacing connotation
into the role of guardian or protector, similar in character
to gargoyles. Their power and ferocity, however, have
not diminished.
There
is a Japanese saying which translates to “Oni with an
iron club”, or to be of an invincible nature, a fitting
association with the 29” L6/Bainite blade on which our
Oni Katana is built. The blade features the geometry of
our Performance Series for outstanding cutting ability.
The 14” tsuka is wrapped in black ray skin and silk ito
while the Koshirae feature Oni in various classical styles.
A unique combination of folklore and functionality.
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.
