And now for something completely different.... from KaBar!
« on: January 19, 2011, 06:02:21 AM »
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."  :D

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!

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

Indeed, about the only one I could see myself practically using.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

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.
