Bohi Modern Tanto

Prepare for your next mission wielding the Bohi Modern Tanto. This companion knife bears the legacy of traditional tanto knives from Japanese history, reimagined for the modern warrior.

A Masterpiece of Design

Forged from 1566 high-carbon steel, this tanto shows off a traditional craftsmanship dating back millennia. Carbon steel is renowned for its strength and durability. The blade has been forged to reveal a stunning visible hamon line. Hamon is the wavy pattern along the cutting edge of the blade. This tanto, also known as the Japanese combat knife, is wielded in one hand. Designed for the modern samurai warrior, the blade has the iconic bohi along the blade, also known as the fuller. This fuller removes extra weight from the blade without compromising its speed or strength.

Further down, the copper habaki, or blade collar, is anchored to the guard by the copper seppa. Seppa are two small washers placed on both sides of the crossguard. The tsuba crossguard is fashioned in the maru gata style. The maru gata style means it’s designed like a circle with two perforated holes on either side of the blade.

Moving down to the hilt, the handle is made of riveted G10 plates. Those plates are textured with small, thin grooves for a secure grip. Embossed on the hilt is an antiqued brass dragon as the menuki. Menuki refers to the decoration on the handle.

This modern dragon tanto comes with a black fiberglass saya, also known as the scabbard. The scabbard has olive green paracord sageo, referring to the cord tied around the scabbard for tying to your belt. The sageo is tied to a kurigata, known as the polymer protrusion on the scabbard. At the bottom, the scabbard has a lanyard hole in the pommel.
