Knife is not meant to be used to behead zombies as the head can live after is chopped off.
It's for cutting rope, starting fires etc

 

[MeanJean]

You should be able to pierce the skull and scramble some grey matter with the pointy hook on the end.  Still can cut rope but your does have the edge on starting fires and versatility.

I can't honestly say that I would feel comfortable shaving with the same knife that I use to kill zombies... Not that I really shave with a knife.  :-\

I might suggest a crank mechanism for the largest weapon (it worked well in the middle ages, why mess with success?), but at least you don't have to worry about noise or ammunition.

When I run out of ammo.....

I would have thought something a little larger would be more useful.  Or were you referring to the tiny Sake bottles?  >

 

[Mister Donut]

Haha, been on a firearm shopping spree and it's really pissing off the wife, so I thought I'd pick up Conan's Atlantean for $hits and giggles. 

It's a licenced replica sword from Museum Replicas, apparently hand-forged from 1085 high carbon steel and tempered to 52 HRC.  It's unsharpened, but it's still an absolute beast.  Arnie's was about 8lbs, and this thing weighs in and just under.

I'm sure the pointy end would still poke a fairly large size hole in someone, and given the level of decay on a zombie, it would probably still be able to cleave a head clean off. 

Haha, that sake is some glorious stuff, Koshi No Kambai, from Niigata, Japan's sake capital for those of you who appreciate that sort of thing.  Yeah, if the zombie apocolypse were to come, I'd make sure I'd die drinking that stuff first.

.......or use that little opium pipe in front of the box then you wouldn't much care.

 

[Mister Donut]

.......or use that little opium pipe in front of the box then you wouldn't much care.

It's a tabacco pipe.....I think, haha!  But yeah may as well go down drunk or high. 

Yeah, big hero that I am, I want to die in a pile of brass fighting to the death, but I'd like it to be painless and fun as possible, haha!

Being a fan of Japanese edged weapons, I particularly like this for the suggested purpose:

NAGAMAKI-NAOSHI
Naginata with blades similar to katana which were mounted on short poles (circa 3-4 feet) are termed nagamaki-naoshi. Nagamaki may have a yokote like a katana; naginata do not. Nagamaki were used primarily during the Kamakura and early Muromachi eras.

Like a Katana, you have a blade optimized for slashing cuts but also equipped with a point, but the long handle/short pole isn't as cumbersome as a full length polearm, especially when carrying it through the post apocalyptic landscape or working in confined spaces.

I had a Paul Chen Pudao/horsecutter I just sold recently, similar weapon:

I have a few Japanese swords as well, two live blades, two iaito to practice with.  This is one of my shinken:

The blade is newly made, not by a licensed smith, but a nice quality peice overall.  I've got an edo period tsuba on there:

Lets not forget Location!

Two years ago, after the Florida guy took a bite out of some hobo, I drafted a SOP concering my place of work (7 CFSD.)

Too sum up. Large harden 1950's Building, lots of supplies, rations, weapons and low worker population (less Zeds to fight should the spread occur during working hours)...the one major con is that we have very little in terms of Ammo.

Given the amount of stores a layered defence can be established.

I would feel secured in it to deal with The Walking Dead or up to World War Z zombies...not too much if it were I am Legend or high end Resident Evil Zombies.

Isn't it sad when sometimes personnel probably have more ammo in their personal stash at home than at their units?

Do you have any swords?  I used to be a member of the now defucnt Vancouver Japanese Sword Appreciation Club (I know, long name).  There were some really nice peices in there, one was classified by the Nagoya museum as a national treasure in Japan, but our member had the proper papers for it and was able to keep it.  I remember he told us it cost about $60,000 to have it repolished.  The sword itself was priceless.

I only had a gunto at the time, but I sold it a long time ago.  I want to get another sword:

But it's a toss up between the sword and a Remington 700...need to add a bolt-action to the herd.  And getting back to swords, I'll get one of these one day:

But for 10k, it's a bit hard to swallow for now.

 

[a_majoor]

For various reasons I don't have any live blades, but currently have several Bokken for practice, a set that can be used as a Daishō, and another full length Bokken (my preferred one) with a much longer hilt.

The big problem for me right now is there isn't any Aikido dojos in Kingston (where I currently work), so my practice is a bit limited. And of course a $10K blade is totally out of the question unless I win the lottery....

If you are looking for some decent edged weapons check out www.reliks.com

I have bought a few items from they over the years and they have yet to disappoint.

Nice, looks like they carry the Conan series from Windlass Steel Steelcrafts.  Their Japanese swords are Hanwei/Paul Chen.  I have one of their wakizashi, not too bad.  Even fooled a few members of the club.

When I run out of ammo.....

My main effort so far has been preventing that from ever happening. However, I do keep a No.4 with a bayonet and a 1897 pattern Rifle Officer's sword handy. Here's one box and a little tease of what's hiding inside.
