Bainite has been known for several years as an excellent component for katana blade production, but until now, it has only been used by top-level master smiths to produce katana blades with bainite bodies and extremely hard martensite edges. (yakiba) requires a very difficult process that requires a sophisticated heat treatment procedure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process and uses I-6 tool steel (a very strong, low-alloy carbon steel) as the basis for the production of this katana. The blades are forged as usual and then carefully heat-treated to achieve optimal bainite and martensite formation. Finally, they are polished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From hanwei.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - l6\/bainite \u003ci\u003eshobu zukuri blade\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e- Traditional production\u003cbr\u003e - \u003ci\u003eHigh quality Koshirae \/i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: l6\/bainite\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 104cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 74 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Handle length: approx. 28cm\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1134 g\u003cbr\u003e - Manufacturer's item number: sh2359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from one model to another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
