Satin WAKI Fully Convexed Zero Edge with Torx Bolts

norcalblacktail · Apr 8, 2011

Heres one I just finished that has Torx bolts installed for easy cleaning under the scales. This thing is a chopping beast now. I really regret selling mine and hope to get another one in the future.

Sweet work man, I can't wait to see my new ASH and BWM.

Ha! I was planning to take some photos of my own, but you beat me to it.

Not much more more to add here, this is one sweet sword! Thanks again!

Oh, and if anyone is curious, it used to be white coated. (Sorry about cluttering up this thread with INFI. This is my only pre-mod photo of the Waki.)

Great pics. I need a Busse, Swamp Rat and a Scrap Yard sword to round out my collection.

Yes, you do! After handling a Ruck for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I'm fighting the urge to go hunting for one...

I did some yard work with the waki this weekend -- it will chew up tree branches like nobody's business and still slice paper afterwards!

Of course, the edge Nate put on it helps quite a bit. :thumbup:

Now that she's finally been used, I'll try to find some time for a new round of photos.
