| The
Praying Mantis is a symbol of cunning and power in
Japanese culture and is consequently a highly respected
theme in Samurai swords. Built on Hanweii's new L6/Bainite
blade (detailed below) in the Shobu Zukuri style with
Bo-Hi, and featuring superb koshirae, the Praying
Mantis japanese swords is a very desirable and functional
piece. The subdued green silk ito and deep brown of
the lacquered saya provide handsome contrast to the
dark copper and golden accents of the tsuba, fuchi
and kashira. The stalking mantis lies in wait for
his next prey, mirroring the power and grace in this
exceptional katana samurai sword. |
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 samurai sword 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.
These are truly magnificent japanese swords.
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.
