I picked up a Waki when they first came out..fondled it, stared at it adoringly and chopped a few branches. But then it sat there...a very cool, but $400.00 + show piece. When I needed to chop something I always ended up grabbing my DFCG or BWBM so I ended up selling the Waki to fund something else. If the Scrapizashi is sub $200.00....I'll pick one up.
