Quick question...What hand to hand weapon would be best during the zombie apocalypse? I'd have to say a Kukri! This is a fantastic product. Just heavy enough to be effective, but won't tire you out from swinging it often. And, another plus is the really boss-looking black blade with just the barest hint of the silver razor edge...scary cool! Speaking of razor edge...I cut myself with it the first day, so be very careful! The sheath is nice and heavy, with snap closure that holds the blade very securely. It can be hung by a loop from your belt, and a hole is provided at the bottom if you wish to secure it to your leg with a strap or cord as well. I haven't used it on any zombies(yet), but for clearing brush and taking off tree branches,(some over 1" in diameter with one chop!) this does the job wonderfully. The blade is sturdy and heavy, with good balance and the handle is very comfortable to hold and also provides a good grip, even with sweaty hands. As for comparison to the real authentic thing...I have a "bhojpure" Gurkha Kukri, Indian army surplus (manufacture date 1943), that I absolutely LOVE, and the Ka-Bar compares VERY favorably to it, though it is more of the "longleaf" style design. The blade is not as thick or heavy, but that is to be expected for a blade that isn't made to be used in combat. I have also found that the blade will take far more abuse than the cheaper brands (rhymes with "old squeal"),probably because it's a Ka-Bar, who have manufactured combat knives for the Marines forever. So, whether clearing brush, cutting branches for a lean-to, or decapitating the zombie hordes, this is definitely the right tool for the job! Highly recommended!!
