I suspect that I won't care because there were hints that the Waki pommel was designed for an attachment. I haven't been able to love the crescent moon pommel, so I wrote to ask if I could get it "bobbed" at the factory. However, I didn't receive a response, so I haven't ordered any Wakis and don't expect to. I just can't make myself pay that much for a knife I'd feel the need to grind pieces off of. So, if the rumor is true, and since I won't get a Waki (and even if I did, I'd chop the pommel off of it), I'll have no use for an add-on attachment designed for it.
