And now for something completely different.... from KaBar!

Walking by the KaBar booth right at the end of the show today I happened to spot something I just had to go and see- these new black coated, bright green handled KaBar knives!

I asked the rep what they were and he said they were the ZK series. Like a fool, I asked what the ZK stood for, and he said "Zombie Killers."

I want one.... or more.... the MSRP on these is $75 and under, so it's actually a really good price for these too- plus they come with black scales too, just in case stealth is an important part of your zombie hunting technique!

They still sticking with their AUS-8?

Very nice, can't wait for more detailed pics etc.

These should be released by the end of the month- apparently they are ready to go. I'm pretty certain I'll be picking at least one up for testing and evaluation, so I'll post a full review when I do. In the meantime, I didn't take a lot of pics of them, but I do have the official media issue photos (I'll have to post them later- I'm getting ready for the show now!) and I'll see if I can snap a few more today if I find myself near their booth again.

That green works well these days on knife scales, Spyderco had them on one of their
Endura models and it was a hit. Hopefully it'll work for Kabar as well. They look great
btw.

Like the look of the billhook shaped one.

Indeed, about the only one I could see myself practically using.

I know I am going to order a folder. I really dig the lines and I have a very soft spot for KBAR. It gotta be a Marine thing.

hawkchucker · **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2011, 12:43:01 AM

I dont want to cross link another site, but the folders are going for a 40 bucks and another isnt shown it it a skeletal handle(no green) for 18 bucks. I would post the pics but they are watermarked. But if ya google it it pops up first.

Those look very very nice, and priced nicely too. That first fixed blade really has my interest. If it is AUS-8, I'm actually pleased, it's one of my favorite beater steels.

Those handles are mighty bright - are they glow in the dark perhaps?

You loose those knives in the woods. You'll prove Darwinism works everytime it would be used

Any idea what the sheaths for the fixed blades are gonna look like?
