Are they effective? IMO, they are all too thick behind the edge to act like machetes, especially with the factory grind. If you thin down the thick shoulder, that helps. But OTOH you can chop down trees with them, not something you can say about most swords sold these days.
Did you forget the Gladious? (sp)
Cool video, I want one.![]()

The Gladius isn't a sword, it's just a really big knife![]()
Swords are basically just a fun machete to have and to enjoy (Destructive tests, etc.) in the collection. Use? Whatever you wantAK47 stands for American Kensai 47cm length. Many people wanted the old original American Kensai (by Busse years ago) to make a reappearance and so they obliged. Scrapizashi is a word play from Scrap Yard Knives and Wakizashi. The AK47's were originally around $587 base price IIRC and no clue on the Scrapizashi. The AK47's are sick and thus fetch a premium since its been a couple years since their release. Hope this helps and others can correct/clarify further
