CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Dragon King Modern Wakizashi with Bohi takes a legendary blade form and reimagines it for today’s warrior. Forged with precision, the 20-inch blade is crafted from high-carbon 1566 steel, differentially tempered to create a visible, authentic hamon line that marks the blend of flexibility and cutting power. The copper habaki and seppa secure the blade at the guard, providing a solid and traditional fit that complements the modern materials used throughout the design.
The tsuka houses a full tang encapsulated in rugged, textured G10. Dual pin construction locks the tang permanently in place, offering an unbreakable, secure grip that won’t loosen over time. Silver dragon menuki are embedded into the handle, honoring the spirit of the warrior without sacrificing the Modern Wakizashi’s no-nonsense, field-ready attitude. This is a weapon made to be used, not just displayed.
The textured black saya protects the blade with tactical simplicity, finished with an olive paracord sageo wrapped around a durable polymer kurikata and reinforced kojiri. Every detail is built for resilience and ease of use, making this wakizashi an ideal companion whether displayed, trained with, or carried as part of a complete modern collection alongside the Modern Katana and Tanto. Measuring 27.75 inches overall and weighing just 1 pound 4 ounces, the Modern Wakizashi delivers a fast, powerful cut with excellent handling.
