Zombie knife
I saw a couple of articles recently that opined that the COVID vaccine would turn us all into zombies, among other serious (stupid) things. :rolleyes:
So, since we are all going to have our brains eaten by zombies, I thought it would be fun to design and build our own Forum Zombie Knife. :D
First, since this will be, in my opinion, a back up to a firearm, I think the knife should have a 10 to 12 inch blade. Longer would be in the way and shorter would not be sufficient.
Next?

Re: Zombie knife
It would, at that! This zombie thing has gotten out of hand and so have the internet trolls talking about the vaccine. Seriously, folks! Get a grip!

Re: Zombie knife
I'd probably grab a barong or ginunting for "zombies." Esee Junglas for size reference.

Re: Zombie knife
Haha! We’ve been binge watching GoT .... and no coincidence I’ve just ordered a P4! Shame it doesn’t come in toxic green, yet.
Zombie knives are now actually defined - and banned - in U.K. law, which says all you need to know about knee-jerk (or just jerk, tbh) politicians.
the weapon sometimes known as a “zombie knife”, “zombie killer knife” or “zombie slayer knife”, being a blade with—
(i)a cutting edge;
(ii)a serrated edge; and
(iii)images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that suggest that it is to be used for the purpose of violence.
Hence, if I doodle “KILL ALL ZOMBIES”, albeit in very tiny writing (hence it’s usual abbreviation to H-1), on my Ladybug HB, I could get 4 years! :D

Re: Zombie knife
That is seriously crazy. Maybe there are zombies making the laws. :D :D
A Cold Steel Chinese War Sword would make a good blade, but it is too big to carry as a back up to my rocket launcher.

Re: Zombie knife
The logic of politicians, especially british politicians, continues to astound. I know my country has problems, but being told I can't carry a knife because it has a lock or has too long a blade ain't one of em! And I can carry my pistol as well...
However, in the wake of a Zombie Apocolypse, I don't think a firearm should be your first line of defense. You have to think about conserving ammo. I would go with a bow and arrow, or cross bow, for the first weapon. You can make new arrows if you need to, and retrieve used arrows. Second would be a warhammer or pole hammer/axe of some kind. Heavy, crushing weapon. Third, a sword of some kind. Made of 5160 probably, something like the Zombie Tools apokatana, Diphos, or Hellion. Maybe a Kabar War Sword. And last a firearm.
Just my thoughts. You definietely don't want to be close if you can help it. But you don't want to use up all your ammo when you don't know when or where you will get more.

Re: Zombie knife
Stopping the undead is likely to represent a different challenge than our forebears faced, fighting each other. I wouldn’t gamble on being able to stun a zombie.
Dismemberment at at least arms length might be necessary, so if the Ladybug doesn’t work I’m guessing a long handled sword like the Samurai Nagamaki might be the ticket.

Re: Zombie knife
If a person is still walking around after death, what makes you think anything short of running them through a woodchipper is going to stop them?

I’ll take a cheap 18” Ontario machete, a Glock 19 and 10.5 inch AR15.

Re: Zombie knife
Definitely the Apokatana. One of my guys gave me one a couple years ago.

The maker's website is hilarious and definitely worth reading through. Some of the zombie apocalypse quips are real gems.

Some people may be turned off by their shtick, but there's no denying the quality of their blades. Watched a video where they put one through everything, including a car hood, and it took a lot of abuse before destruction. It's like they looked at Lynn Thompson and Cold Steel and said "hold my beer!"

Re: Zombie knife
Excellent!! There’s a few there that might work; I particularly like that Reaper 3 - it’s exactly what I imagine I would need against the zombie hoard. All I will need is a few weeks notice of the apocalypse so I can order in good time.TomAiello wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 2:05 pmDefinitely the Apokatana. One of my guys gave me one a couple years ago.

Re: Zombie knife
Out of those, I would choose the Reaver Cleaver. I’d rather have a weapon ideal for hacking off zombie heads/arms, etc., than try to run them through with the tip of a sword, and have them still reaching and biting at me while I’m trying to free my sword.
It looks like the tester in the first vid has a PM2 clipped in his pocket. And maybe a second one on his left side. :)

Re: Zombie knife
Plus, it's designed for use in the cabin of a firefly class spaceship. Says so right on the label.
