Would you recommend this tool in a zombie apocalypse?

As a last resort it would make a good head-hole-puncher, but the weight of this item would make it unsuitable for thinning out large crowds or quick escapes

No, because the poking end is too wide and the weight is 16 pounds. Better off with a pointy fiberglass broom or shovel handle.

To put it simply, yes! This knife is an excellent choice for a survival tool. It is beefy, very well made, one solid piece of steel, and can't be beaten for the money. The knife rusts easily because it's made of a mild carbon-steel and needs to be oiled; this means it is flexible enough to withstand the abuse of throwing (or chopping, or prying, or batoning) without breaking but will need the edge retouched with a sharpener slightly more often than other knives. This is the same steel used in many machetes, so liken it to that.

I don't believe this would be the best tool for you, it is built mainly for snow...the scraper is not that strong or that sharp, it works great but I would not use it on ice! I would get a shovel designed for that. From Tom in Minnesota!

I'll be aw honest, I haven't even had a chance to use it yet. It is still in its case. The tool does look dependable. I'm not sure how well it would do compared to an actual demolition hammer. if it's for small things I think it would work fine but if you are doing lots of concrete demolition you may want to consider something for that specific purpose. sorry I can't say for sure.

This would not be my tool of choice for making the type of cut you describe, although, in an emergency you might be able to rig something up that would be servicable. A circular saw would definitely be preferable especially in terms of smoothness.

Yes, it's a real heffer. You can get some serious momentum behind it with a good swing. This is built as an extraction tool for hacking open cars or buildings, so I'm sure it could cleave through a zombie skull if it could cleave through a car door...

Yes you can. It's styled very similar to a military-type knife. Would make a good survival tool. Strong blade. I collect and use knives and found this one to be surprisingly well made and durable. Sheath is quality and well reinforced. Well made also.

Unfortunately no. Would be nice, but even so, still a pretty darn good little tool. I have no complaints about it at all.

Projectile weapons typically are not efficient for killings zombies. Throwing knives would be better served as a tool or self defense against humanity's other faction that you'll ultimately have to fight. Likely they will capture you, and their Che Guevara look alike will make you play basketball while only have a couple hours left before a horrible poison destroys your body. Welcome to the human race.

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.

Outdoor survival yes. Urban survival kind of. This tool, in my opinion, is a outstanding survival tool for woodland survival. For the following reasons:1) I've put mine through the ringer and it has performed beautifully2) It's very easy to sharpen and the edge lasts3) The head of it is not to big that you can't "palm it" to use as a cutting instrument or even for skinning4) It's light enough to always carry but heavy enough to split and chop5) The fire rod stays in place and is a good size for use

I would think it would be safe to use but it really depends where you're going to have it pointed. As I said in my earlier review it probably isn't strong enough to do what you want anyway but I'm just guessing because of my experience with it and I don't know your plans with it. Just take my advise though and get something more powerful.

No, this will not protect you against a zombie apocalypse as zombies are not created through airborne particles. You need a different kind of protection that would protect you from bites, scrapes, etc... it might help if you smashed a zombie in the head with the filter but there are many other tools to help you in those situations. I HIGHLY recommend this kit from Gerber for better protection: http://www.gerbergear.com/Apocalypse/Gear/Apocalypse-Kit_30-000601 Good luck, and remember... don't stare at the flowers. ;)

Anything and everything. The glass break makes a useful flathead screwdriver, the serrations work well for small branches, the blade is good for cutting apples, whittling walking staffs... It's good metal, I'd trust it for light prying.

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.
