Rodent Waki Impressions

Not really a full on review thread. I just wanted to give my thoughts on my Waki, and see how other people were liking theirs.

I bought a Tanker Grey and Black Canvas model. My first impressions were that it was the nicest product I've ever gotten from any Busse family blade. The edge was ground even and shaving sharp.

It has great power for chopping and makes a great machete. I really love it.

I like mine a whole lot. I managed to roll it in a few small places, probably from hitting some sort of hardware in a bamboo awning I demolished with the waki.

Overall I'm really pleased with its performance, although I may put a slightly thinner convex edge on it eventually.
