Waiting…….waiting…….waiting……..

OK, my mail usually shows up at the office around 9:00am. I can’t get anything done because I keep looking out the window every 5 minutes for the mailman. There is a good chance my Waki will come today. I sure hope it does. That will save me a trip into the office tomorrow to check the mail……9:30am no mailman……….10:00am no mailman……10:30am no mailman……..11:00am no mailman………FINALLY!! 11:15am here’s the mailman and he has a strange shaped

Sticking your hand down in a box with sharp pointy things is probably not a good idea.

This is the lightest sword I’ve ever held.

No wonder it was so light, no sword. Better check the box again.
[Linked Image from farm4.static.flickr.com] Good it was still in the box. Too bad this thing will have to be put on the shelf for a while. I need to get started testing the Regulator so I can report details to Dan.

I ordered a Black blade/Black Micarta handle. The handle actually looks more green to me than black which is really cool because I really like the color combo

Black micarta always looks greenish/grayish but usually can darken with use. I've heard that applying mineral oil to it will darken it up nicely.

Nice combo - Same one I got! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

In one of Eric's post he mentioned the Half moon pommel was there for a reason. I assume it is an attachment of some kind. Be interesting to see what it is.

Maybe a clamp that it fits so you can attach it to the front of your bicycle? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Congrats! I'm still waiting. And I, too, am a little anxious to see what the half-moon pommel is all about.

jackell,
Awesome deal getting the Waki. I hate it when the mail runs later than normal LOL. I had my Waki over at a friends gun store yesterday and one of the guys that works there ordered a Waki yesterday afternoon after playing with mine. I think he has been turned on to the Bussekin by me showing and telling. Now, he needs to quite lurking and join us here.............................Hey, I know you are reading this so I am challenging you to join, you know who you are!


Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust
