What would be your Apocalypse/End of the World knife?

A reasonable 4-5" fixed blade with a keen edge and a pointy yet substantial tip would make the most amount of sense.

However, threads like this aren't about making sense:D

Thats what I would have said.....

But of course if there was such a thing as a zombie....a reach out and touch them weapon like that Katana the black gal in Walking Dead carries would be the perfect choice.....though getting that thing on my Gatco would be a trick.
 
beendare, not a good choice, katanas are too light, no momentum, you hit a bone and there's a good chance to get stuck and then you're a goner

they were made to slice flesh well, if you tried to go thru a skull like they do on the tv shows, you're not dealing with reality
 
itd be hard to argue with anything from Miller bro blades..
I usually have a s30v folder, and an uncle henry Skinner to beat on.
I'm trying to justify carrying my new Ontario sp48 in my edc backpack, as I used to with my g.i. tanto. Having difficulties with that one though..
What I carry on me is embarrassingly appropriate.

Thanks to the other "knife for the end of the world" or whatever it's called thread, I now know that whatever knife I choose has to be super duper black, have a hollow handle to store ex-lax, sleep/suicide pills, etc., be made of 440a stainless so it vibrates at the right frequency when batoning with rocks, and be at least 11 inches because 10 inches stops the knife from being water proof.
I don't currently have a knife that fits all of those criteria but I am diligently searching through a Budk catalog and I am very confident I will find the right one before any zombies show up.

Hahahahha i see a dig for a patricular member
 
For me probably a kukri for a heavy chopper. I have a gavko knives bigfoot in S7 that works great.
A machete for lighter chopping tasks and reach, likely my ETT model in 3V, or like the one i made for ATJ999 (slimline machete in 3V full convex)
And probably my apex hunter model in Vanax or Z-Wear. Probably vanax though because its an apocalyptic setting and why not.
Or my conquest model, same steels. Super comfy handle and great smaller blade. 3.5 inch or so blade.

All I know is it would be a handful of these. Maybe more than a handful. The 3 I would always take with me would probably be one of the slimline machetes/brush swords, one of the Survive GSO 5.1's, and one of my Gollik knives Elmax knives. And a Carothers light chopper would be close by for sure!

HAHA! I know, but I did not want to look like a complete crazy person! I would definitely have the 3V machete/brush sword on me! You know, I have done some side-by-side testing with my machete/brush swords against choppers. The Machete/brush swords actually cut deeper and arm gets less fatigued. I still love choppers though.
I am still thinking about it, but I may contact you about a small, 4.25 inch blade Z-Finit fixed blade. Or Vanax.

Awesome man keep me posted!
Yea the brush sword/machete platform is pretty awesome espessially convex!!

I actually have some vanax now!
 
Laughed when I saw my thread mentioned... I would love a busse knife but last time I checked it's nigh impossible to get them first hand these days. Correct me if I'm wrong. Barring busse, I'd go with something along the lines of what Jimmy described
