http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waki-gamaeWaki-gamae, sometimes shortened to waki, is one of the five stances in kendo: jōdan, chūdan, gedan, and hassō. and waki. Waki-gamae is a stance involving the swordsman hiding the length of ones own blade behind their body only exposing the pommel to the opponent. This stance was common when there was no standard length of sword and was often used as a deterrent to any opponents who did not know the range of the sword being hidden and could be used as a sort of bluff technique. It also serves to conceal the orientation of the blade to one's opponent, as to give him no hint about your own intention for the next attack.

I don't know how much they're going to cost, and I don't really care. I have the cash. but I will definitely get one. I also assumed it Waki was short for Wakizashi.
That's one heck of a chopper.
