I ended up going with the B11 over the scrapwaki. The srapwaki was $269 and the B11 was $267. I figure that I've already got a tough as heck sword but I don't have an 11" beast. I think I made the right decision. I didn't see as much action for the scrapwaki this year as I did for the swampwaki last year. The Yard had DMs, SODs, DFs, and a preorder for the scrapwakis. The swamp had RMDs and Chopweilers only - the RMDs were gone before the doors opened to the public (or around that time) and so were the black/gray DFs.

The Gladius was much more intriguing that I would have imagined. I couldn't swing the $600 price for the CG, but it looked sweet enough.

The scrapwaki had the same or similar feel (save for the handle material) as the swampwaki. It's blade shape seemed identical.



Good times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
