zombietools.net?

Frankly, loved the site. Chuckled out loud on some of the photos so I give them a thumbs up on that. Some interesting take on blades and frankly, they have found a fun niche so I wish my Northern Tier brother great success. Need to see them when they come to Seattle next!
 
I think I may have to sample one of these. Just got a response back to my email...Para Bellum is 1/4" thick 5160 with a flat grind. They have four in stock. Asked if they'd consider doing one with a micarta scales...apparently not.
 
Nothing against micarta, we just want to kind of stick with our current theme of all metal indestructible weapons. I may have not ever killed a zombie with any of our blades but I have trained in tameshigiri test cutting and have run a rather raucous sword fighting group for the last 10 years and make a point of running our blades through their paces. Like many you we live for sharp things and think about these things way to much. So suffice it to say we take pride in what we do, at first we were called Thanatic swords but one year we did a haunted zombie old west brothel for a local bar and one night after quite a few beers we came up with Zombie tools. It gives us a niche and an excuse to dream up some really cool weapons. We will be in seattle at Crypticon horror con in june, come check us out.

What about getting a knife that's made for actual work than some childish zombie apocalypse?

I dunno...I always liked that Klingon knife with the spring spikes in the guard...Wish I had one... :p

Buck makes a Scimitar...Not a very long blade...but still has no real-world use...just ornamental...a "fun" knife... ;)

You're thinking of "From dusk til' dawn" and it was vampires, not zombies.

Yeah, that was it! ;)

I actually bought the DVD of "Night of the Comet" [1984]...a zombie classic...lots of corny lines...like when the guy hands the stuck-up cheerleader a MAC-10, and she says "Daddy would have gotten us UZIs!"... :D
 
I looked at the site and just had to have a couple of their T shirts.
Got them today, good communication and fast shipping for this deal.
 
Anyone who has lived alone in the back of a funeral home for 3 years like I have will have no doubt that zombies are real. Imagine yourself at 2 a.m. alone in the building with 8 dead bodies in the basement, a rainstorm outside and the electricity goes out. Fo shizzle. I prefer a shotgun for zombie defense, but I would sure take a zombie blade as a backup.
 
Drifting off topic a tad . . . had an alarm in a local funeral home attached to a large graveyard one night. Classic weather, raining, breezy, open door to the prep room. At least one body on a table. We go in and my young partner stops, whispers, "What's that?" There was a repetitive knocking from an adjacent room. His eyes got HUGE. Then the door we came in rattled on a gust. He squealed and ran past me, out the door and into the rain. The knocking was from a compressor about to go out. But all of that, seeing the body, him running past. I can see why zombies can seem real and why we need blades for them.

If nothing else, a talisman for the rookie officer. So long as he doesn't cut my arm off.

I'll have to tell the story some other time about the groaning man . . . :)

Zombietools will be getting some biz from me soon.
