The book is fantastic and thank you for the info on - to the White Sea . Briefly what's it about ?

A little more Shiva Ki never hurts in an Apocolypse thread

My Large Spirit Blade

This thing might be my best slicer

And from Master Ki's website

Holy shiva!

Joe P, what a great thread! Sorry I am late to the fun, but have been parked out on the Left Coast for awhile. Here are the two that I would head out the door with, one on my right, the other on my left. Thanks to Don and John, I would feel safe.

And, in case a Zombie head gets in the way, strap the Core Fighter on my back.

What fun, and I haven't even made it through the whole thread, yet.

Joe R - that's some zombie slaying with bonus style points. If I wanted to be all upscale in my mayhem, I might go the Hanson route as well. Sometimes a 12" blade is just so..... right.

And this Stuart Branson piece offers a good deal of reach as well:

Finally, the dropped handle of this Burt Foster piece adds a lot of power to what was already a fast blade:

**SBranson** · 10-26-2012, 10:05 PM

Wow! Great stuff!!!

I've made a couple that I think would work.

One of these in each hand

I quite liked this one.

But probably I would take this, that is until I finish my katana.

Roger, that 12-inch Hanson blade would do some damage! I think Stuart has a few that would work, too!

Love your work, Stuart.

Stuart really makes very attractive things ........

I have to resist ...... too the big temptation ....

**Joss** · 10-27-2012, 09:28 AM

Stuart - love that first blade. Very elegant (why not kill zombies in style?).

**RogerP** · 10-27-2012, 09:49 AM

Stuart - I would love to see your rendition of a Jungle Honey. Hint, hint.

I just received this "End of Days" "Long Tanto" from Kelly Ward (Hard Edge Knives) and this is one beast of a cutter. It's so sharp I feel a little sick when I gingerly test it with my finger... Sharp Edge Knife!! 12in blade, 1/4" 1095 carbon, 17.5 OA.
Thanks Kelly!!

Joe, this thread started making me nervous! I had a hard time sleeping, every little noise made me sit up in bed and pull the covers up over my face. I kept sending my wife out to check what the source of the noise was. I decided enough was enough, I made a phone call and look what showed up in the mail today!

Now I have this for my better half to go take care of the Bumps that go Bump in the night!

**Monofletch** · 10-27-2012, 02:46 PM

WOW! You guys have some awesome knives and short swords!! I would be affraid to get them dirty!!

I would have to grab my Robert Carter Field Tank. It is the biggest knife I own now. Although a little less than 10" OL - It will do the trick!! Not quite as fancy as some knives posted in this thread.
