I'd just like some general opinions from folks who own these on which would be a better bushcraft/in a pinch fight blade. The waki seems more attractive as I've become accustom to my ko katana but they both just look sooooooo sweet. This is where you, my fellow sword nuts, come into play. Which of these two bomb proof bad @$$es has the better handling characteristics? I'm sure both will chop some wood and make a great machete so it essentially comes down to handling.
FYI I'm looking at these because apparently hanweis banshee is as elusive as a polar bear in the Sahara desert.

Ohh uhm whoops, both are by swamp rat knife works of Busse kin. They're powder coated sr101 steel with g10 or micarta scales. Want some blade specs?

Personally, I only have eyes for the Waki...unfortunately, it's off their regular production list; and, when they pop up on the secondary market, the prices tend to be a little crazy (that, and/or the color combinations don't appeal to me)
If you don't mind the look of the Rucki, it's a lot more readily available...and the swamp's turnaround time has been pretty good recently. I received my last knife 17 days after after I placed my order with the custom shop

They do the waki on a per order basis, I contacted them.

I guess I know what I'll be spending my money on - once I have money again, that is.
