That would be pretty cool.
I also want a bayonet and a machete, just because.

Long ago I did a write up about the Ka-Bar.
It's was a strange poem type story I did on some other message board (long Gone). But lemme tell you guys what the Ka-Bar means to a Marine...
During my younger days, I did certain training involving bladed weapons. Never thought anything about it except that it was "Cool". Every time we checked our Bayonet out, I felt like a movie actor or something. We trained and I visialized all kinds of movie scenes, scenarios, and situations where this cool training would come into play. The the real day came.
We were issued our M-16, bayonet, and Ka-Bar. On the long Flight to a real combat situation, you think about a lot of things. Especially me. I looked at that blade for hours. Stared at it. It was a commercial airline, so wearing our utilities was weird enough,and most of our gear was carry on. That includes some of us who were issued Ka-Bars...(I can't help but wonder what would have happened if someone tried to hijack THAT plane...hehehe)
It wasn't "cool" anymore. It wasn't a movie. It was REAL! I wondered what that Ka-Bar, MY Ka-Bar would see. Would I have to actually use it for what it was intended for? Would someone try to use it on me? I wondered if someday I would look at any Ka-Bar and see someones face. If maybe my Ka-Bar would be a trophy for someone. Many real thoughts and feelings.
Even though I saw action, my Ka-Bar never did. That weapon means more then just a knife...it means the last avenue of battle before the highway in the sky!
Not so sure Commandos in SWG should get a Ka-Bar, it's not really "Star Warsy". I'd prefer other things personally, but at this point...I'll take a pitchfork if it helps us!!!

mmm, reading some of this solidifies my comeback to commando once the CU arrives. I loved commando, even before the initial fix, it was fun( if dying to durnies is your idea of fun).

I dunno Tac...when the ammo runs out, it's nice to be able deal with things Mono e Mono (unless you get in trouble for it...lol).
I've always looked at Unarmed as a bargaining chip...plus I kinda fell in love with it. Naturally.
