Zombie Slayer anyone?!?

[chainring]

Even MORE sweeter!!

Hopefully we'll get Shadetree on board for this prototype. :thumbup:

That'd be cool. Get to see what the final product will truly look like, closer to what it will be in any case.

I'd be really interested in this if it had a canvas micarta handle. Make it look like something in one of those movies where the zombies invade the deserts around Vegas.

GITD scales would be perfect for Vegas, along with a gold lamé jumpsuit! just the thing for dispatching Bubba Ho-Tep!

That reminds me, I need a jumpsuit for the apocalypse.

Wow - you guys have really brought in some great eye-candy pics. :thumbup:

This thing is hopefully going to be a reality soon!

I just need to get my prototype back....LOL

Dan

 

[texastonydobbs]

Awesome !

 

[RandomAyes]

xxxxxx

 

[Blackwind]

I'd buy one...damn.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Ok - I made a few changes to the design. And I also made a prototype from wood to see what it would be like in 0.210" thick material.

I don't see any need to go any thicker...at first I thought 0.25" all the way...but I am really liking 0.210" (oversize 3/16") more and more. Plus, using that thickness allows me to get it in CPM 3V.

Which, of course, will probably raise the price $150.....


I'm going to get one cut out of steel soon (hasn't happened yet).


In the meantime, here are some pics:

Next to some familiar knives:

Top to Bottom:

Zombie Slayer
Monster Nessie (14" OAL)
BushMaster (10" OAL)
Bushcraft (8.5" OAL)



Shot of the spine showing the thumbgrooves as well as what the tapered swedge will look like (will be dull/unsharpenable).

Primary grip - plenty of room.

You can definitely 2-hand this thing...when I grab it in 2 hands, this is where my left hand ends up (need my RH to hold the camera...LOL)

Works equally well in reverse grip, both single-hand and 2-hand.


Back to work!

[texastonydobbs]

Whoa !!!!

 

[Daniel Koster]

Here's the drawing - might have scroll sideways to get it all...I didn't want to size it too small to catch the details (starts to pixelate).

You can see the thumbgrooves at around the 11" mark.


Overall length is now a little over 18.5"



I basically made it as large/long as I could and still be able to cut 2 out of a 3"x36" bar of steel. (Yes, I'm very practical-minded...even with Zombie Slayers!!!)

After all, Dan, zombie killing is a VERY practical business! Great final design.

 

[chainring]

That is so cool.

 

[riz_aaroni]

Sooooo awesome! Wouldn't be surprised if this wound up in a zombie movie.

 

[Soulrack223]

3v in a rough finish and textered black g-10 and I'll take one.
