[sachem allison]

I live in Jamaica, queens some of that stuff is in my kitchen. unofficially of course. benefit of living with a retired NYPD cop.

 

[swarfrat]

You haven't been around my office on a Monday morning.

oh whoah; I'm from Fresh Meadows. Hello there neighbor! (although I'm in the city for school)

 

[HHH Knives]

Soon to be my Zombie slayer!! I sure hope they dont make it to Marlette B4 I get this baby finished!

 

[l r harner]

right now imm have a 330mm slicer 6 feet from me a 10 inch heavy camp knife lesss then 3' my glock is 15 feet or so (so not in the kkitchen persay ) the tuna sword tho is abut the same distance and that would jsut be fun

i have not shot gun (need to fix that
BTW blunt force not much getts better then a 4X4 truck adn brush guard

 

[echerub]

Heavy, blunt, solid object... maybe my best bet would be to use my Boardsmith board

Otherwise, I think my 265mm cleaver would be a fine choice.

 

[Chef Niloc]

By far my #1 chose, got to get one of these.

 

[oivind_dahle]

If you cant beat them, join them

Would have picked up a huge bottle of JD. I usually end up like a zombie within a few hours of heavy drinking .)

These threads make me laugh. I love a good spirited, learn little thread. Haha
I'll go Chinese cleaver and a flathead axe. If what Seb wrote is accurate, I need a blunt object for the brain, which the flat part works perfectly for, and the beveled edge would be great for forcing doors, cutting through walls, making a trap, etc. I guess my wife could always use her hair straightener, or maybe her purse if it's been a while since she's cleaned it out. I think my dog would be a lean mean zombie finding/killing machine, so he's set.

My Zombi killer

 

[echerub]

Does anyone here have the skill to wield 2 cleavers at the same time?

 

[l r harner]

might not have the skills but i can flail with the best of them

So you basically want to be Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men: portable cattle gun, silenced shot gun, badass. I think he would fare well.

well. hello.

Missed this thread, but my answer shouldn't be a surprise. A 10# sledge, which I can wield with surprising agility and would do quite nicely for bashing brains. A light tap from me will obliterate a pumpkin. A serious hit with one anywhere solid will do some serious bone busting to give me time to line up a good head shot .......FOUR! As for other busting, I could take an entire house down with it, given a bit of time. It may not be as fast as some others listed, but is the low tech equivalent of a shotgun as far as stopping power goes. I do like that too, as well as the ice axe, which is something I have always wanted to make and is on my list for end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it gear. (novels on this subject are some of my favs)

Does anyone have a picture of that sleek machete that Denzel Washington used to great effect in "The Book of Eli?"

Other than a silenced Remington 700, I can't think of a efficient weapon that won't wake the (zombified) neighbors...

Edit: Hang on... touchdown!

 

[JanusInTheGarden]

wow, have we all been watching the walking dead or something?? lol

Actually, one of our foodrunners is frequently one of the zombies on that show. They have training camps and everything.

+1 on blunt objects. You know, a metal baseball bat always feels right in my hands.

True Fact I went over this with Marissa when I was responding to this thread. It's not easy to destroy a human brain with blunt force. Fracture a skull takes about 150 lb per Inch force, easily doable 10# sledge. BUT to crush a skull and completely destroy the brain takes 1500+ lbs per inch! I was amazed when she told me this. She sad she would bring home a skull for me and let me try if I like but if I can't do it in two swings I have to do all the house work for a month! I'm not a betting man.
Note: For those that don't know shay wife is the chief medical examiner. She has also beaten every resident evil game

I'd choose Cherry with the prosthetic machine gun leg from Grindhouse.

Sorry to contradict but a wealth of 'cinematic evidence' indicates that a couple of lusty taps on the zombified noggin with a baseball bat will do the job amply.

 

[slowtyper]

I love her

 

[jheis]

Six pages!

You guys watch waaaaaaaaaaay too much TV....

 

[echerub]

Hmm. The skull *is* a rather stout object given that it's a hard, round structure that distributes force well. That means a purely blunt object isn't our best bet. The climbing axes, however.... Or maybe if we use a wedge-shaped baseball-bat like item that concentrates the force of impact...

I can't think of anything around my kitchen that fits that description though. I might just have to fall back on my cleaver and go for decapitation. It's risky, but I don't have much choice.

I have no cable or satellite TV. I'm enjoying this thread based purely on zombie education from my highschool days

 

[panda]

honing steel sharpen the tip, and a hammer

 

[JKerr]

A sack full of whetstones.....

 

[cclin]

this will knock-out zombie with one blow!!

if kitchen only, there's a tool bucket:

 

[Burl Source]

I say "Spank that Zombie"

and then run away while they are laughing.
