Coming off from the staple of using machetes, parangs, goloks, khukuris and most of the South East Asian blades, this Waki is refreshing.
Having no prior experience to sword (never wielded a Dha), one can only imagine the design inputs together with the human ergonomics that Dan has poured into this blade ; It TELLS you how to use it and you get better and better with it over the time and to see how deep it cuts with every swing- not to mention this is by far the most compact sword in Dan's range, i am able to bring this around the trail blazing and still be able to take down a tree without a chainsaw.
" A manual chainsaw blessed with Gorilla spirit"

The ferric chloride coats that Dan put on has so far been excellent. The blade has good patina and with constant oiling, it has yet to rust- a BIG plus considering that here, everything that is ferrous in nature rusts.
