The Prize will be a $300 gift certificate to Zombie tools, sufficient to purchase a Felon, Vakra, or Traumahawk, depending upon one’s personal preference. See the next post for the rules.
These three blades were developed by distinct cultures, all for the same purpose:
To be the single survival, utility, and combat blade that can by itself ensure survival in any scenario relying upon such a tool. They have all played such an important part in history that each has become part of the identity of various cultures.
The Zombie Tools offerings are modern-day re-imaginings of them, being respectively the Bowie, Kukri, and Tomahawk.
I already own a felon, so I will use it in this description:
The Zombie Tools Felon:

This is one hell of a knife, and such a knife is certainly one of the best and most useful pieces of outdoor gear you can own.
Zombie Tools blades meet every last one of my requirements. I'm proud to carry and use them, and that's saying something. You might have noticed that I can be a picky individual in general. From maintenance to parts, I tend toward the obsessive.
That level of obsession, however, is careless cheapfuckery in comparison to the demands I make in regard to sharp objects. Blades are in my blood. They always have been. I got my first machete at five years of age, and it's been onward and upward ever since.
When I say their shit is good, I fucking mean it.
The felon is one such blade. It is very good. Many design elements combine to create a very capable Bowie. It is light enough for quick handling, but heavy enough to chop. The balance point has been carefully chosen.
It features a raised portion on it's spine for batoning; allowing one to more conveniently perform certain bush-craft and utility tasks.
It is hard enough to stay sharp, while being soft enough to sharpen. The secondary bevel is slight, and likewise steep enough to hold an edge, while being shallow enough to slice.
In a single day of work, you can open boxes, chop wood, or even slice hanging newspaper if that's your fancy.
This is a very good knife indeed.
Note the picture I've attached. That used to be a 4"X4"X24" cardboard box. Indeed, it was the box in which the knife was shipped.
I stood it on end, entirely unsupported and empty. With but a single stroke I cut it into two pieces with the Felon it once contained, and as you can see, it was a clean cut.
Suck it Lynn Thompson. Absolute fucking proof.
Cheers,
Kennith
