I'd have to go with my Cruwear Military because it's pretty much my favorite for every day tasks. That's why I carry it.
But if we're talking self defense against zombies, I'll still take it because it would do well in slitting my own wrists before the zombies could get to me. I'm not fighting them with a folder. I'm thinking a bolo style machete with at least an 18" blade. I like the idea of blunt force weapons as well. Guns run out of ammo...

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
This is an old thread but a good one. The OP said which Spyderco folder and why. Of the 62 previous posts, I am surprised that no one has mentioned the Starmate. Bob Terzuola is considered to be the originator of the tactical folder and literally wrote the book on Tactical Folders. A thick, VG-10, 3.75 inch spear point blade and strong liner lock: What's not to like ?
In the druthers category, also not mentioned was a fighting stick, hiking stick or cane. At my age, those would be useful.

Probably the Police 3. It is a large, solid, workhorse of a knife.
I wouldn't use a folder as my primary weapon against zombies, but a good practical folder can help you make some sharpened stakes or other primitive weapons.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
Frankly, using any knife, folder or fixed blade, to stab a muncher in the head, ice pick style, seems like a low percentage plan.
It requires one to offer one's forearm as a snack while the walker merely has to tilt his or her head back to take a bite.
That's why I followed Glenn's example and bought a Woodman's Pal.
Handier than a Samurai sword, it can be carried on a belt yet big enough to keep one's distance.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
For a folder, I'll take something care-free and useful all around for the Apocalyptic scenario
making tent stakes, spikes and feathersticks, cutting flesh and food, opening and cutting bed mats, plastic, containers, scrapyard materials and stuff while wandering around
If I can take a fixed blade, something all-purpose and sturdy enough will fit the bill
most likely this one

I'm thinking a crow bar and myrtle.
Maybe half dozen mules for back up.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
I am afraid I would not choose a Spyderco folder They are too short. I would choose a Cold Steel Rajah II with a 6" blade and a very long handle. I would want as much room between me and the drooling zombie as possible.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
I forgot we had this Scottish Dirk. The 13-inch blade should help keep them at a distance.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
I'm sorry but no folder over even spydie fixed blade has anything on my dahong palay for taking off a limb or a head.

Re: If a Walking Dead type Zombie Apocalypse came,
Well, the OP asked for a folder or I would have provided a fixed blade. Better, I would opt for a 12 Ga. or a Marlin Guide Gun (something dead reliable. A semi-auto can get fouled at the wrong time).
