I believe it would based on the designer's intent for the weapon, and the barbs would rip out or scramble anything inside the skull. >-)  Drive it through the eyes or up through the nose, and you'll be in the frontal lobe. The barbs will hook and you'll have "a Zombie by the nose!"  MUHAHAHAHA

i wouldn't use this thing to stab, those barbs will act like a fish hook and dig in, it would be a pain to get back out. besides the kukri has always been a hack and slash type weapon. use it to sink into the skull or cut off the head. thats where the profile shines. you want a quick one hit kill ready for the next. you don't want to be trying to pry your blade out of the first zombie as the other three shambles descend on you. still it looks awesome. but i'm worried about these weapons that are sold as zombie killers. i think they design them more to look cool then be functional. i don't want a wall hanger i want a work horse. i want to be able to chop wood, hack apart doors, drive nails with it all day long and still be able to Cleve a zombie head from it;s shoulders in one swing, with a cut like glass. so can this do it?!

So I talked to Mike, who designed the blade for 5.11 Tactical and here's what he had to say (besides the fact that he'll sign one for me :-)  --

"Good morning Tex,

Thank you much for your interest in my knife design! The KOLD zombie knife offered by 5.11 Tactical was really meant to be a fun, out of the box project with also a useful product in mind. I have taken the knife into the woods and hacked through some 4 inch round trees, and I was pretty impressed...I think it would split a skull with no problem! Also, the tines on the back spine of the knife make for a really nasty back-swing:) The blade is a very stout 6mm thick. AUS 8 is also a very good stainless steel and will reach a hardness of 58 HRC, and the blade should be very tough in that condition and retain a good edge."

That being said, swinging through dead tissue and the spine should be trivial... making beheading a free-for-all-killa-fest. 

Dual-Wielding a couple of stout blades, in extremely proficient hands, would be quite interesting.

Planning on taking several blades back with me when I re-deploy. I've frequently used knives over the years and had occasions where I wished for a couple of blades like this one. It's not all missiles and drones... not yet anyway.

Can't wait to test it for myself.

wow i was almost on board until he talked about dual wielding, anybody who thinks dual wielding anything is a good idea drops a few points on my reliability scale. it does have some good information in it but i'd have to hold it for my self or at the very least see some videos of it being tested.

I found this Zombie killing knife on ebay!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Machete-Sword-Knife-United-cutlery-Living-D...

--Only listing with real 7 strand paracord 550 lock lanyard--

--Black savage/Black legion/United cutlery living dead AUS8 stainless steel machete--
 

My stock is all personally checked for any MAJOR defects.

I also check for handle looseness ( and tighten them if needed) and do a quick

sharpening run on many of these so my buyers gets them good and sharp.

My orders are bubble wrapped for protection during shipment.

If you buy this from another seller they may not check them for you.

The stock box for these is to small for them so they tend to come out of the box

with a badly bent sheath tip. I remove them from the box and fix this problem

so they arrive to my buyers as they should..
 
 
I have recently had a chance to field test these machetes and I was VERY happy with

their functionality. We used it to chop down a tree about the size of my leg and it performed

like a AXE which is not what machetes are designed for. We could take 3 inch deep cuts

with a single swing. It was truly awesome how it worked. After abusing the machete to see

what it could do it was still in perfect working order. No paint wear or handle issues. The edge also

held it's sharpness through out or test.
 
 
25" inches overall length
