Where can I get a knife like this?

captaincalamari said:
If theres a place that makes or could make a custom like this id happily get one, the 5th picture is someone who got them custom made by "thekhukurihouse" I was going to ask if they could make another one but after looking at some reviews Im not too sure.

Khukri House makes a decent product, they are the main competitor to Himalayan Imports, who has a subforum here, and might also be willing to make something similar for you.

That is really a non functional art/prop knife though, totally impractical design.

I briefly went through a phase where I bought several ring hilt Bowies and daggers, because I thought it would be doublecool to spin around on my finger... but they really didn't spin very well and felt uncomfortable if not awkward in the hand.

I'm sure the Chinese have made copies of the "Walking Dead" knife. Frost Cutlery made similar styles during the 90s that pop up on eBay sometimes.

But as my Irish grandmother would say, "You don't want that."

And why would you want a TV fantasy knife like that? Of no use for hunting, camping, 'bushcrafting" etc. Very few experienced combat troops would want one either.

Because I like it? What sort of question is that, why do you have jewerly, or a TV, towels or a chair? You dont need them

The knife shown in the OP is pretty much an amalgam of everything I have learned to avoid in knives.

1) Damascus steel blades are only as good as itā€™s weakest component, even when properly forged.
2) The brass handle is overly heavy and a maintenance headache.
3) The finger hole can result in a broken finger. It is also often uncomfortable to use and limits your ability to alter your grip.
4) The goofy sawteeth (and goofier blade cutout) will snag on every cut, and effectively limit the utility of your knife to the first couple of inches.
5) Those sawteeth are not property designed for cutting. They should be offset from each other to help clear the shaving, less they become instantly clogged. These things are just stress risers that weaken the knife and hinder your ability to use a baton or fire steel.
6) The pointy pommel is a hazard that is more likely to hurt you than your opponent. It will be poking you with every step you take and is dangerous in the event of a fall. Also, if you want an impact tool, hardened blade steel would make more sense than the softer brass.
7) The extension of the guard above the blade limits your ability to rest your thumb over the blade for added control.
8) The Cho-like cutout at the lower tang is useless. If it were wider it could be a finger rest, if it were further up it could be a sharpening notch. As shown here it does nothing.
9). The wide (tall) blade that is narrower at the tang will complicate the sheath design. While proper sheaths are common enough, these usually have additional straps or snaps making deployment that much slower.

Daryl originally carried the excellent Busse Team Gemini on the Walking Dead. Unfortunately, as the zombie apocalypse progresses it seems that only flea market fantasy knives can be had. If you can legally own a Team Gemini, that would be the one to get. It would do a good job on zombies and do just about everything else that you may need to do with a knife.

FYI Britain has just passed very onerous laws which could easily include blades like this. Mere possession is an offence. You may want to check that out.

Public urged to hand in zombie knives and machetes to police ahead of ban

There will be no repercussions for surrendering the dangerous weapons safely, the government has said.

Would this really count as a zombie knife? Im not an expert so Im not sure what a zombie knife really is but even one at that size, the blade only looks a few inches, thank you btw

Contact Khukri House. Email them those pics. They should get back to you within a few days. Should be under 200. I'd request 1/4" thickness with a Kydex sheath. Tell them to make it paper cutting sharp.

Etsy do them. And this random guy seems happy with them.

But you get what you get.

(The reviews are pretty good so I don't know)


That's funny. The shop that does them does a scream replica knife. Rather than just selling a buck.

I just had a look. And they have a similar one without all those doots in the back of the blade.

The o ring kurkuri I think.

And for me that makes it a much better knife.

I can't link it against the rules.

Side note. Don't spin them. You will cut your hand off

I meant the himalayan one haha
 
It is against the rules to provide a link to the live auction. But you should be able to find it by searching for ā€œwalking dead knifeā€.

Search Daryl Dixon ring knife, Daryl Dixon finger knife, or Daryl Dixon knife. They're all over Etsy, Ebay, and occasionally Amazon. All are Pakistani products, I'd second seeing if the Nepalese would make one, their quality is generally better.

I have no idea, but If you live in the UK you know how "flexible" the interpretation of these things can be by HMC and police. The definition is often made on the spot and then it's up to you to defend it in court.
Bear in mind this isn't a ban against carrying, it's a outright ban against importation/possession.
