Dragon King Modern Tanto w/ Bohi SD35491

The Dragon King Modern Tanto with Bohi is a rugged blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, built for today's warrior. This fixed blade tanto delivers clean, aggressive lines with materials meant to thrive under real-world use. Whether you’re looking for a companion to your Modern Katana or a standalone blade for utility and defense, the Modern Tanto is made to perform.

At the heart of this tanto is a 10.25" blade crafted from 1566 high carbon steel, differentially tempered to create a genuine hamon line along its length. The addition of a bohi not only lightens the blade but gives it a satisfying balance between speed and striking power. The copper habaki and seppa show Dragon King's attention to traditional detail, even as the design moves toward a sleek, contemporary look.

The full tang construction is encapsulated in a black textured G10 handle, dual-pinned directly through the tang for ultimate strength and security. This handle is unremovable, designed to withstand the harshest conditions without loosening over time. Embedded in the handle are silver dragon menuki, an homage to the blade’s classic Japanese roots, adding just a touch of artistry to the rugged function.

The 16" overall length gives you enough reach for tactical application without being unwieldy, and at just 13 ounces, it strikes an ideal balance between weight and agility. The textured black saya keeps things stealthy and tough, featuring an olive paracord sageo wrapped around a polymer kurikata and kojiri for practical field use and a secure carry.

Built with a no-nonsense attitude and a clear nod to its heritage, the Dragon King Modern Tanto is ready for whatever mission you throw at it. Pair it with the Modern Katana for a complete system or let it stand on its own as a powerful statement piece in your collection. Either way, it's a blade that's meant to be used, not just admired.
