WAKATAN ???

[Centurian]

Any idea if or when REKAT will release the Wakatan (folding sword?)

 

[cpirtle]

I heard the project was seriously de-railed a while ago. Vaguely remember them saying it may never be released.

Sorry..

------------------

 

[Centurian]

NOOOOO

 

[cpirtle]

I went back to try and find why the project had been derailed and this was the best thing I could find. I also remember Bob mentioning the cost of one grinder they found but that it was cost prohibitive, could be wrong there though...

This was from a thread back in January

The wakatan is on hold until we can find a comerical grinder that can do a 18 inch blade. We will have the Darrel Ralph Double Action Automatic Sifu on hand but it is still in devolupment stage.

I think a D/A Sifu just might rip your arm off at the shoulder from sheer force when the blade locks open.

I guess they were supposed to have it at the last show, anyone see it yet??

I think I'd even jump on one of those.

 

[Centurian]

Now that would be cool an automatic SIFU. Oh wait I live in the Republic of California, land of now power supply and no automatic knives over 2' blades

Time 2 move.

 

[cpirtle]

California is not bad where auto's are concerned. In Ohio if you want to carry an auto legally you can only have one arm, otherwise no auto is legal.

 

[glockman99]

Automatic knives aren't legal to carry here in Washington State either

, but so-what???...It's a SIFU!!!.

.

...Besides, I have a GOOD lawyer on retainer.

Glockmann, might have a point here, ask for a jury trial, (probation tops

) On the other hand "sheeple" may make up our peers

Na, I think I'll stick with single action

 

[cpirtle]

Maybe with a jury one could counter sue REKAT and win 30 billion dollars in a settlement.

You could argue that REKAT used unfair practices by making the knife so desireable you had to have one. (more than one in many cases

)

[glockman99]

Sue REKAT???...I wouldn't dream of it.

.

...Now, if they'd give me one of the 1st DA/Automatic Sifus as a measure of "good-will"...

Did someone say Damascus?

 

[cpirtle]

I would never dream of it either, my reference was made to poke fun at the ridiculous California jury that just awarded someone 30 billion dollars in a suit against an "evil" (pronounced eeeeeeevyyyl) corporation.

 

[Centurian]

Oh yes, out here in California we lead the nation in stupid laws and law suits. Sue a gun company for getting shot, sue a car company for making the car I guess (how dare u make the car I drive), or because hot coffee spills in your lap ( suprise it's supposed to be hot, if it's cold is a fresco

) Word to the wise...do not move here. Knife laws aren't too bad (yet) except for the no auto over 2 inches.

 

[Easyrider]

Centurian, you are SO CORRECT about "The Peoples Republic Of Kalifornia" I lived there for 12 years, I'm sooo happy to gone from there! The land of $300 vehicle registrations! You have my sympathy.

one of my buds lived in orange kal and became so disillusioned he moved all the way to palmer alaska - he had a lot of rifles of the assault variety including a barret light .50 auto, and he swore the police drove by his home on a regular basis - he said he couldnt get out fast enough - lived there about 12 yrs
