As you know, part of the allure of these is that they are rather crudely constructed.
I polished and fitted all the parts, hand engraved and gold plated the frame, installed exhibition grade mother of pearl handles, and fire blued all the screws.

"Mangled" AK 47 knife
Here is one that I did about 12 years ago. The customer wanted an over-the-top AK 47 knife.

Re: "Mangled" AK 47 knife
VERY nice 
Re: "Mangled" AK 47 knife
I own the full sized AK-47 and it is a great knife. I take this knife with me on training missions with the Army and it gets plenty of use. The one issue I have with this knife is the large hook at the end of the grip. All my pants have a hole worn through because it constantly rubs and the hard edge cuts through the fabric. Other than that it is a tough, intimidating and super easy to maintain quality blade.
