A falcata

Post by Jered »

Anyone know who makes a decent one? I need something to kill zombies with, and these look like the trick.

I was going to say Zombie Tools has one (scroll to bottom), but apparently it's unavailable right now.
'Regulate' used to mean the opposite of 'constipate.'

Well, maybe I should have said "something else to kill zombies with."

If they made it with meteoric iron found in Africa, you could have a hakuna falcata.

Looks like someone watched The Deadliest Warrior last night... :lol:

There is a company called "Museum Replicas, Inc." that has a battleworthy falcata for sale, brass grips and steel blade by
Windlass Steelcraft in India. I've bought several good swords and daggers from them.

http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-219-falcata.aspx $195 unsharpened, $213 sharpened

If you really want to fight zombies with a sword, I recommend the two-handed Scottish Claymore. (Where's the William Wallace smilie?!)

Nope, no cable, no satellite. Just a brain that goes where lots of other people go, and not always first.
