How many chops does it take to break into a zombie skull? Does the blade tend to stick into the bone?

Just one if you swing it right. Go for the temple rather than forehead or top of skull to avoid sticking. Easier to yank it free as they fall.

Well Craig, it really depends. With good technique and sufficient upper body strength the blade should behave in such a fashion as to enable necessary structural penetration of the skull. But if you just sloppily hack away then yes, you may have 'blade stick.' And that's just embarrassing.

Great tool and tough. I'm pulling a deck and replacing the deck boards. This has several areas to pry and lift that are perfect for the job and I'm sure would work great on zombies skulls and slick so it won't stick. Longer might be better for Zombies but this is great for so many things.

For skull cracking please invest in a good heavy weight wrecking/pry bar. This FUBAR is awesome but most likely wouldn't crack clean through the skull cavity, in my opinion. I can, however, attest that it does work on zombie limbs...not clean cuts (quite messy actually), but it can very confidently hack straight through femur and humerus bone.

If you have a really sharp knife you can cut it to the contours of the weapon. But the way it is really done, you have to pluck the foam out the way you want. Hope it helps.

I wouldn't recommend it, this electric knife is not durable enough or powerful enough for cuting bone. A handheld knife might be better because I have yet to find a strong enough electric knife for this.

It is sturdy and sharp enough if used as a weapon, it could do some serious damage. However, for cosplay purposes, the blade is completely dull, and not sharpened. It's metal, can still cut if you intend to. The tip is really sharp though. If you poke a bedsheet with it, it will probably rip it.

It won't hurt and is full of band aids. You could use the little scissors to kill zombies if you hit them square in the temple. However, most newly dead zombies may be able to bite through the case.

As HillbillyDad said, be sure the knife is sheathed properly. It is pretty tight to start with. Be very careful if it is stuck to not yank so hard as to cut yourself. The knife is extremely sharp.

It depends on the katana. A low-quality katana's (or what some people may call, "mall katana") blade can break or wear down if cut through bone (i.e. the skull or neck) while a higher quality can cut through steel with ease. I would not put my life on the line with this katana in the event of a zombie apocalypse considering the material used.

I disagree with Natalia. If you are say, in the woods and dont wanna be loud and attract more walkers, sharp knife, machete or sword is your best choice.

It depends entirely on you. How long you crank the handle determines how fine the chop... The first time I used it I turned my tomatoes into almost Salsa, green peppers also. Then I realized that I had to not turn so many times and or so fast. I even go forward and backward. Probabaly only 5 to 6 turns sill make chop for say tacos. The more you spin it the finer you can make it.

You're really going to want to start out with something like a butter knife, or maybe a spoon. You can practice stabbing a chunk of ballistic gel, although if you don't have access to any you can make your own with a regular store-bought gelatin mix (just use about 1/4 of the recommended water in the recipe). Once you've become proficient in your technique, you can consider moving up to a steak knife, a drywall knife or a box-cutter. The knife advertised here is just about right for a "bridge hobo" or "1950's greaser-punk" level knife fight, but if you're going to be looking at "beach hobo" or "C.H.U.D." level knife fights you'd probably be better off with some kind of cleaver, or maybe a battery-powered electric carving knife. You also can't go wrong with a Sawzall or a sharpened spade, but then you're arguably drifting into "axe" fighting.

I'd say 8. They're not too easy to click... but if you freak out cause a zombie pops into your screen, then you might switch to a flashlight by accident instead of keeping your gun out.

Not as thick as a full tang survival knife but thick enough to take a real beating. I have had this knife for over a year and used it for everything from bushes and weeds in the yard to clearing shooting lanes for my tree stand. An added bonus is that the Kukri shape makes this very easy to swing and generate speed so when the Zombies attack I will have this knife in one hand and my SOG tomahawk in the other.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

I like it for cutting meat since I keep it really sharp. But the edge is fairly thin so I am either very careful or use a boning knife around bones.

Honestly, I wouldn't bet on this thing in a zombie apocalypse. Shrubs and vines ok, meat and bone, not likely? not unless you are sharpening and have a home run swing on every swipe lol. For zombies, you'll need a much heavier and longer lasting tool ;)

Not sure I have not taken the handle apart. How ever I see two rivets in the handle an feels like its full tang. I would put it up against zombies after sharping it And would feel safe with it. Lol a good quality practice sword for the money

That depends on the kerf (thickness) of the blade, usually 1/8 in and how you are cutting the material. I find it easiest to use small clamps to hold the tile in place so that you can get a great cut that has to be precise. You can ultimately take as much or little off of material as you need, just take your time.
