plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Alex C:
Like Bandito said; unless the sword is pretty long, it's designed at least in part to be a stabbing weapon. A gladius, for example, was for stabbing, and it's debated to this day whether the spatha was used primarily for slashing or stabbing. I never claimed that a log splitting axe is as good as a quality bearded axe, but at least it'd be very, very durable since it's a lot cheaper to make a solid axe head than a fine blade. I also think you're overestimating the quality of a lot of axes used around the world for combat as well; axes were popular because they got the job done and it was cheaper to make a sturdy axe than a sturdy sword. By Viking times if you had the money for a truly excelllent axe you likely considered getting a sword instead since they were also popular as status symbols. Anyway, as I said before, my primary requirements are "Can I find a quality example within a very short drive from my home?" I'd rather have a halfway decent axe that can double as a tool than a baseball bat.
Boro_Bandito:
We've got a grinding wheel in the backyard and many different tools, hatchets, axes, etc. I also have some baseball bats and in general I think we're set for farmyard melee weapons.
calenlass:
I was just looking around my bedroom, guys, and I realised that I am sorely unprepared.
I need to go shopping shit shit shit.
Trollstormur:
i'd stake my life on a claw hammer before a sword in a zombie outbreak.
when i get a few, I'll take some pictures of what I have for zombies.
Spinless:
Clearly, the best thing to wear in a zombie outbreak is the Batsuit seen in Batman Begins. Has anybody mentioned this yet?
