What's your Zombie Killin' equipment??? Pics only.

These three tools would be my go-to's for zombie de-animation:

One for smashing zed skulls, one for chopping limbs, and one for pulling fillings (for the gold & silver :D)...

What's the screw for? ;)
 
It’s an old school spiked club. I made it out of a little old bat that I picked up at a swap met and a bunch of rusty nails that were in my tool box. I think I’m going to name this one Rebecca (my ex girlfriend, she was a real nightmare).

I had a few edged weapons courses with James Williams, he’s by far one of the best instructors out there when it comes to military type blade combatives

Church&son handy work.


But I have always loved the tomahawk. Ever since I first watched the last of the Mohicans movie, I just fell in love with the weapon. And after I actually learned how to use id in a modern combat situation, I just can’t think of a better weapon to have as a back up to a primary firearm in a zombie outbreak.

So what have you learned as the essentials to a tomahawk as a combat weapon?
If I am not mistaken one of the basics for most heavy weapons like swords to tomahawks or maces are to keep the momentum going rather than fight it and have to recreate it to get back intoa strike ready position.
I have the cold steel frontier which is more utility but I want to get one of those forged ones with the spike... can't remember the name but I was wondering what more there is to a tomahawk ina combat situation.
I realize i could probably take a course or buy a book, but I was wondering about a few quick pointers, you know in case the zombies come before I have a chance to buy the book.....

The best targets are the neck, head, knees and thighs (neck learn how to combine your strikes on these targets). Practice your strikes on something that’s moving, like the log on a chain that Mr. McLemore uses, this is by far the best form of getting a feel for the hawk.
Expect your hawk to stick in your target. Make pulling it out a part of your training.
Learn how to choke up on the handle, for extreme CQC (it will save your #$%).
Some people don’t like the back spike on hawks. These people have never faced someone wearing body armor or heavy clothing. The spike works better than the blade when striking a dense target.
Pick your weapon wisely.
Pick your carrying system wisely, and practice your draw till it becomes second nature.

any good starter tomahawk youd recommend for this? i remember reading that a curvature in the handle is preferable for CQC
 
Edwood7, I'm a long time fan of Daniel Winklers work (had a nice belt knife by him that I regret selling). I see you post this style of hawk often (the one in your signature) and would like your input as to what is the reasoning behind that type of head design on the Winkler/Sayoc RnD Hawk.

To me, it seems that the pointed protrusion on the main chopping face of the hawk would be likely to snag and catch on things and not aid in shearing or penetration.

I love the looks but I'm confused by its purpose..?
 
He posted pictures a while back of his winkler punching through a guys kevlar during an operation of some sort...so my guess would be penetration of armor.
 
It helps penetrate deep in to body armor of heavy clothing. It actually bights the flesh like scissors because of the angle it has between the spike and the cutting edge. This axe is a weapon, much of the blade geometry that applies to normal axes has nothing to do with the head shape of the Sayoc hatchet.

technically it goes into the tenths but I rounded down to the fifths.

basically it works like this

you take the two parents and divide all species by half so that 3/4 wolf is now 1/2 of 3/4 (I could do some fancy shmancy fraction math skills but ill stick to percentage to make it easy) So what is 1/2 of 75%? its 37.5% almost 40% out of 100 making it 4/10s or 2/5ths

It is not being divided into halves, with parents you just double the denominator. Like from 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 to 32 to 64 to 128.
