Yeah, but at least it's aesthetically pleasing.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't buy this due to the possible legal ramifications. Imagine you are the defendant at a trial for using deadly force...the attorney for the family of the zombie YOU KILLED is garnering sympathy from a jury of their peers....i.e. zombies from the local community. "Deadmen and deadwomen of the jury, I direct your attention to the blade of the knife which slew Mr. Flyblown....can you read what it says in bold lettering? ZOMBIE KILLER! This was not an act of self-defense as the defendant would have you believe....this was a culturally motivated hate crime!"
I'm not putting myself in that position.
That can open wine bottles with giant corks.

That "blade" does suspiciously resemble a machine part .Man, that actually looks like a test blank for their CNC mill that they said "Eff it, put scales on it and send it out the door, the fans'll buy it!".
Won't that... snag? Mid cut? Look at that square shelf!ugg.... just saw this monster with a $1500 pricetag courtesy of kingdom armory

I always heard it referred to as "Verlangerungsmesser", this type of knife. I could find no mention of that French name in previous searches. I noticed like, nobody knew what one was, when I posted up a rather cheap one, but I liked the style. It had a clasp on the bottom where the blade stick out so that one can carry it in their pocket. Very much like this style! Really nice mod.Actually this knife design ("dague à la d'Estaing") is not new, and (was/is) quite popular amongst french hunters

Verlaengerungsmesser isn't a French word. It's German. Verlaengern is to make longer, to extend. A Messer is a knife. So this would be "an extension knife," roughly translated.I always heard it referred to as "Verlangerungsmesser", this type of knife.

I know, man. The guy called it a "dague a la d'estaing". I said I'd never heard that French name for it.Verlaengerungsmesser isn't a French word. It's German. Verlaengern is to make longer, to extend. A Messer is a knife. So this would be "an extension knife," roughly translated.
Oops. Sorry. I guess I've just gotten used to automatically translating German over the years.I know, man. The guy called it a "dague a la d'estaing". I said I'd never heard that French name for it.
That’s the widest blood groove I have ever seen!ugg.... just saw this monster with a $1500 pricetag courtesy of kingdom armory
