My experience (ukenagashi/harai) is more in line with Kent's.
I should also say that pulling off ukenagashi against someone committed to cutting you is both easier (with most aikidoka that I have experience with) and harder (against the few classically trained people I've dealt with).
At the same time, Peter is correct...there are some pretty awesome aikido weapons folk out there.
