Ka-Bar knives have been in the military for a long time, but the company doesn't stop there. In fact, they've added a new use for their tools this year: killing zombies.
I kid, but not really. The company is displaying its new ZK knives at SHOT Show. They're easily identifiable because of their lime-green handles.
Ka-Bar named the line after its top officials joked about the need to design knives capable of killing a zombie when firearms aren't available, said Joseph Bradley, a company representative at SHOT. Hence, "Zombie Killer." He wasn't kidding, even though there is no mention of zombies anywhere in Ka-Bar's new promotional materials.
The ZK knifes have serious utility value, though. There's the "Kharon" Tanto folder, shown above. Its MSRP price is $40.98, and it has a 3 3/8-inch blade. There's the ZK "Pestilence" chopper, featuring a 10 1/4-inch blade and priced at $75.63. And there's the ZK "Acheron" skeleton knife, which sticks out in this group because it's the only one missing the lime-green handle. It has a 3 1/8-inch blade, and sells for $11.70.
"We wouldn't make a novelty knife just to make a novelty knife," Bradley said.
For those who like the series, but can't handle the green handles, Ka-Bar includes an extra set of interchangeable black handles with each purchase (check the photo gallery below) . You know, just in case you don't want your knife to look like Slimer got a hold of it.
