Hunter Wakizashi

The Hunter Wakizashi features a shinogi zukuri style l6/bainite blade and excellent koshirae , making it a desirable and extremely functional piece.

The dull green silk ito and striped green saya complement the blackened iron tsuba with its gold detailing, creating a hunting bird of prey vibe.

Bainite is a carbon steel structure that combines high strength with excellent flexibility and impact resistance. Bainite has been known for several years as an excellent component for the production of katana blades, but until now it is only used by top-level master swordsmiths for the production of katana blades with a bainite body and extremely hard martensite edge. (yakiba) is a difficult process that requires a sophisticated heat treatment procedure.

Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process and uses l-6 tool steel (a very robust, low-alloy carbon steel) as the basis for the production of this katana sword. The blades are forged as usual and then carefully heat-treated to achieve the optimal formation of bainite and martensite. Finally, they are polished.

You can complete your collection with the matching hunter katana (item number sh2471).
