For those of you that have (or have had) both. Which one do you like better? I don't need specs or too many reasons. Just simply which one do you prefer. I'm guessing more people are going to say waki but you never know.
 
I've got both, and haven't used either. It is hard to say which is better as they are really similar in size, but the Waki is hard to beat. I got my Rucki first and always thought the handle could be longer (for a more comfortable two handed grip) so I got the Waki. Mine both came from Swamp Rat and I would get one in a Tanto tip if I had it to do over.

Here is a photo that shows the size difference:

 
If forced to choose, I'd take the Waki as it is the more practical of the two for me. However, if the Zombie Apocalypse was upon us, I'd go with Josh's advice with a Rucki in each hand. ;)

Utility: Waki, is heavy and has good handle versus blade length, a great bush sword.

Defense: If I had the choice of what I brought down the hall to meet an uninvited guest, the Rucki would win hands down. Pointier, and shorter for close quarters like a hallway. Dont hand me the knife to a gun fight, my daughters room is between me and the front door, I will not shoot.
