Welcome to the Yard, Smitty. Congrats on getting three Wakis. The Waki is a most impressive sword. I'm sure you'll find a use for them. A neighbor of mine brought me his Katana to sharpen a couple of years ago. It took a good edge, but when he tried to chop an oak limb in my yard, the blade came loose from the handle. That won't happen with a Swamp Rat Waki.
