Modern Wakizashi - Bohi by Dragon King
The Modern Wakizashi - Bohi by Dragon King is a fusion of contemporary design and time-honored samurai aesthetics. Forged from differentially tempered 1566 steel, the 20-inch blade boasts a striking real hamon and a practical bohi (fuller) for a lighter and more agile feel. The copper habaki and seppa enhance its elegant yet tactical vibe.
The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in textured G10 material—known for its durability and resistance to the elements—securely pinned with dual mekugi. Embedded silver dragon menuki elevate its presence with mythic symbolism. The black saya (scabbard) is sleek and low-profile, fitted with an olive paracord sageo and tough polymer kurikata and kojiri. This modern wakizashi is perfect for collectors, martial artists, and modern samurai looking to bridge the ancient with the now.
The wakizashi, traditionally worn alongside the katana by samurai, symbolized a warrior’s readiness and resolve. Dragon King’s Modern Series reimagines this revered blade through the lens of current-day warriors. Maintaining the soul of the past with cutting-edge materials, this wakizashi reflects how a modern samurai might equip themselves in an urban setting—efficient, minimal, and resilient.
