The Wakazashi is a short sword used in Japan as early as the 16th century. It is approximately 12-23 inches in length and worn blade edge up. The Wakazashi was worn by the Samurai, along with the Katana as part of a matching set called a Daisho. If the Katana was broken, the shorter Wakazashi could be used in its place. It was also considered bad etiquette to wear a long sword indoors, so by the use of a Wakazashi the Samurai would not be vulnerable indoors.
Remember this? This was back when mutants had to register their powers with the government. Those were tough times. Wow, I'm getting old.

Is that from the God loves Man Kills Comic? I love that book.
Pete, I don't know, but it could have been. In 1987, Marvel published this fake ad in most of their mutant titles.
