Just imagine how much street cred that thing would get you during the zombie apocalypse. So. Many. Green. Skulls.

Came across this tactilol awesomeness...had to bring the thread back for it 
Either those are 1" holes for an awesome two handed knuckle duster (and it's like 4' long) or it's officially the most uncomfortable handle ever.

I think that you should try to make your own for this one. Start by going to a few garage sales and find an old
Wiltshire kitchen knife, a can of black spray paint (that still has a little in it), a spring that's about 1 inch or so
long, and a bottle of Liquid Paper. When you get home, go out to the garden shed or garage and consider it your
brand new knife building shop and get started on your first Tacticool build!!!
Take a hacksaw and cut the blade off at the handle of the Wiltshire knife. Use a drill and drill one hole in the blade
and one in the plastic handle. Insert one end of the spring in the new handle hole and the other in the hole you just
put in the blade. Fold them together and secure with an elastic band. You have just built your first folder!! But you're
not finished, it's time to customize it. Use the black spray paint and paint the entire thing. After two minutes it will be
dry enough and you can take the bottle of Liquid Paper and brush on some really cool lightning bolts on your knife. Not
too many lightning bolts though; any more than seven or eight per side will make it look tacky. Once that Liquid Paper
dries, you will have just completed your first build of a One-of Custom Tacti-Cool Knife- for well under $20!!

Huh. It's back. Okay.
Emerson's "zombie Hunter" limited edition.
Now, these were on sale during the early part of April, so take that for what it's worth.....
Zombie Hammer is under new ownership, and they are teasing people with images of upcoming product.
(I hope the mods will allow me to lean on the rules about non-member dealers. It's all in good fun, but I can edit the image if there's a concern)

I like Emersons, and even I think that is...I was gonna say dumb. But I think it's actually just bad for a brand to make "Zombie" knives. Why does the handle need to be that green color anyway?Huh. It's back. Okay.

Why?
Ka-Bar didn't go under or lose sales of their other knives because they produced a line of zombie themed knives.
If anything, it got people out there camping more, because what the hell else where they going to use their large "zombie knife" for?
Cheaply made, crappy knives are a bad idea no matter what theme or style they are; most zombie themed knives are cheap crap...but then again, about 80 percent of knives most people buy are cheap crap (ever been to an American gas station or truck stop? It is great
).If I had extra cash, I might buy that Emerson, just because I could annoy and confound some Bladeforums folk.

I actually think the acid green (what I call it) handle is kinda neat, but I never really understood the green = zombies thing either, if anything I would associate either (brain matter) gray with zombies or (blood) red. But green? Maybe it's because of the "toxic green" and the virus (IE snot) sort of connection? Acid Green to me is simply a Porsche color and not a zombie color.

Oh that Angel of Death looks so... practical. I have always wanted a set of knuckle dusters that stab me when I chamber a punch. Good Times!
I also appreciate the survival bonus of the saw sections. It is good that they remembered to keep them discontinuous and facing different ways.

Man, if those holes are actually big enough to fit fingers through then that blade has to be 3/4 inch thick. That beast would weigh a ton.

I wound up buying a TwoSun Karambit for $13.01-free shipping in eBAY yesterday. I placed the bid 4 hours before the close of auction fully expecting someone to outbid me. I was bored & fooling around. Won the damned thing. It's not all bad as I've been watching Lucifer on Hulu & have a sight desire to try one. I won't be disappointed as I have very low expectations.

Brief comment on the Angel of Death Knife, once you use a knife on someone, even if it's Richard Speck invading your house with malice in his heart in the middle of the night, the DA has the option of prosecuting you. Your job as a defendant isn't helped when the DA displays the ANGEL OF DEATH knife before the jury. There is going to be a little old lady on the jury thinking "what kind of monster has an ANGLE OF DEATH KNIFE?".
Ok, I guess I mean it makes them seem gimmicky or fad-ish. Dilutes what the brand is about (maybe) by making a "Zombie Cash Grab." All just my opinion obviously.Why?

Video Game Reference: Left for Dead brought the whole zombie game thing back to life....and its mechanism for zombification is the Green Flu. One of the zombies in Left for Dead 2 actually spits green acid that is the Acid Green that we see on zombie-killer knives today. You can blame L4D for kicking the zombie craze into high gear, and those gamers went on to want "cool" knives in real life. Sigh. Video games really do rot your brainzzzzI actually think the acid green (what I call it) handle is kinda neat, but I never really understood the green = zombies thing either, if anything I would associate either (brain matter) gray with zombies or (blood) red.
