Sword on S77 is a great idea. But please make it like the traditional sword handle/blade proportion. AK47 is a wakizashi size but the handle is too long. Yeah it's a beautiful sword but I'd rather like sth more traditional proportion.

Khukuri or machete, please.

I would also prefer a more traditional proportion. I also think that an SR77 sword would be fantastic. I may not buy one if the price is too high, but I sure would like one.

I agree a classic waki proportion 'sword' in sr77 would be very handy.

I believe the smachete was developed by Captains Sykes and Fairbairn after they did the classic Brit 'Commando dagger'. I think the name comes from the fact that they said once a soldier got the thing in his hand he knew exactly what it was for and how to use it... Literally it was a fighting "machete" for "smashing" the enemy on the 'Atlantic wall' of France...

They are not indestructible, but it takes some effort with: a long pipe, a vice, and a heavy set man with a bad attitude towards good knives.

Sykes and Fairbain really new their stuff. S7 is what some of the worlds best custom katanas are made from. I have a hunch the reason Scrapyard knives are so tough is the heat treat is done so the S7 steel forms bainite.
I would like to see a tactical wakizashi from the yard. 15 inch blade and a 7 inch
handle. It should have a real convex edge. I have a cheness 9260 kat that is pretty tough but I would give the scrapper the edge. You also could not have a deadlier weapon in a confined space than a wak.

really?
heck if Scrap Yard ever made a sword i'd buy it in a heartbeat then!

I personally have no interest in a sword. But, it sure would be cool to see a Scrap Yard sword!!!

I would love to see a wakizashi from Scrap Yard in S7.

I never went for the AK47 because of the price. I just can't justify that kind of price.

So for me, the price has to be reasonable!!!

I don't personally know about the balance and feel of the AK47 as I have never handled it. But, I prefer a blade that is quick and nimble while being super tough. I prefer something that handles well with one hand. I don't need a two handed long grip (I don't really care for a two handed grip).

To me something with a blade around 13" - 15" sounds about nice to me. - Just fast, nimble and tough! (with a very secure grip!!!)

Convex edge would probably be my preference, but I could probably be fine with flat grind, just not hollow grind.

Blade thickness around .25" and blade height around 1.25" or so (???)

.

I love my AK-47 and sheath and would still probably buy a scrapyard sword.

ah ted you're merciless.
