Yep, the waki lengths are much more practical. You'll have to let me know how you like yours. I like a much shorter handle, personally, and more curve to the blade. The flat designs aren't really my cup of tea because they just don't cut the way I want them to if I use any of the techniques I'm trained in. I also would have to avoid a coated sword. Seems to me that the designs are more for krunk smashing than actual cutting. But I have no personal experience with them, so I can't say for sure. I do think the gladius would do okay at one of it's main functions (stabbing).
