Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Keeps is the share of what the tool breaks off that reaches your inventory. The rest is destroyed with the swing.

 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |

In Rust, Salvaged Sword is a melee weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #1326180354, console shortname salvaged.sword). When harvesting, it clears a crocodile node in 13 swings while keeping 83% of the yield. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

Crafting Salvaged Sword in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When choosing between Salvaged Sword and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 135-scrap tech tree path and save 120 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Salvaged Sword in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give salvaged.sword 1 or inventory.giveid 1326180354 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
