Zombie tools?

[defjon]

Man, I heard about these back in like 2006! They were always out of my price range.

Lately, I've been considering a couple of their models. Does anyone own any and if so, what did you think?

Wish I could handle several...so hard to tell from stats on a page !

Is this the company that you're talking about?

A tool dealer that I see regularly said he likes these and he's going to get a couple to see if they sell on his truck. If they don't sell he'll keep them and if tgey do sell he'll get some more. If/when he gets them I'll let you know how they feel. Look solid

 

[defjon]

Yep, that's the company!

Some actually look practical, and some just look like a lot of fun. Not terrible price wise actually for American hand made products.

This?

I look their site probably every 6 months for the last decade. When they came out when I was in college, I wanted one so so badly!

I never got one, but the Bowie knife was always tempting.

They were featured in a quick cameo in Planet of the Apes, which is pretty cool

Gerber used to sell a Zombie Apocalypse Kit. The kit actually made it into one of the early episodes of The Walking Dead.

It's no longer listed on Gerber's website.

Gotta like their "About"

Zombie Tools is a band of folks operating under the auspices of the trickster god Loki, bound together by a common passion for blades, science and art. And beer. And all things metal. And beer.





In 2007, three young, emerging and aspiring blademakers set out upon the “zombie apocalypse” mythos. Not wanting to conform, they took an idiomatic approach designing and building weapons for “worst case scenarios”. Since inception, our crew has grown to 11 makers and artists working full time, making battle-ready weapons in Missoula, Montana. We’ve put blades in the hands of legions of people all over the world.

Sounds like a lot of bladesmiths.

Wow! I love these, the prices are very reasonable for handmade US gear.
Will definitely be ordering several, thanks for the headzup.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Haha, the product descriptions are priceless.

 

[defjon]

Yeah, right now I have a diphos, felon, sharkalope, rat b@stard and legionairre in my cart...but that's like 2k! Lol

They have different blade finishes and handle wraps apparently too. The Roman legionairre would look pretty neat with brown leather wrap and satin finish...

As I have a smithy and a drum full of RxR spikes, I make my own zombie weapons.
That Gerber set is really nice though.

I like the Diphos and Sharkalope, but will probably start with the Companion and Sabre first.

 

[Reinz]

At first, I wasn’t interested. But the more I looked, the closer I looked.

Now I want most of them.

LOL... "The Traumahawk"... Just the name makes it deserving of consideration for one's collection...

This?

I ordered that one

Looked like the most zombie tools I guess? Also looks like you could quarter a hog and split firewood.

Makes me think of something a Moro warrior would have wielded as he hacked his way through a platoon of soldiers while being riddled with .38 Long Colt, .30-40 Krag, and .45 Colt bullets (and some 12-gauge buckshot)...
