    Dragon King’s Modern Wakizashi is the reimagining of the traditional weapon of the Samurai into a modern self defense blade that utilizes the full suite of modern metallurgy, materials and construction to create a sword that is effective, low maintenance and yet still retains the core of traditional design and elegance of the traditional sword. The differentially-tempered 1566  steel blade features a real hamon line with a copper habaki and seppa.  The tsuka encapsulates the tang in textured G10 and is dual pinned for a secure grip. The silver menuki on the tsuka are shi shi (lion dogs) which are embedded in the handle.  The textured black saya features an olive paracord sageo around a polymer kurikata and kojiri.

    The Modern Wakizashi also has the Modern Katana and Tanto available as companion pieces to complete a matched modern warrior collection with these other pieces which are available separately.

      An exceptional piece of work that feels like the best of the utilitarian wakizashii s idea.

      Nothing about it is unneeded or wasteful, and the little big-cat menuki redeem all the polymer and rubberized features it comes with.

      It fits snugly in the saya, and does not fall out.

      The blade is very rugged, and stiff– well tempered, despite lacking a hamon. But then it is the utilitarian katana, it is supposed to be a katana for the modern man with no frills.

      Honestly I am in love with this silly little weapon.
