Whenever we here at ZPrepared look at knives, generally we’re looking for a knife that also has several utility functions, so you can minimize the amount of gear you’re carrying. But you know what? Screw that for once. We’re going to talk about a straight up fighting knife. The Ka Bar Next Generation Fighting Knife is a no nonsense knife made for killin’ or de-animating in our case. Sometimes you need to take a zombie out without attracting too much attention and a tactical folder just doesn’t seem like the type of blade that you can just plunge right into the brainpan of the unfortunate zed that shambled in your path. Ka Bar has a long standing tradition with the military, and is about as combat tested as a modern blade can be. The Next Generation comes complete with a stainless steel blade appropriate for use in wet conditions (which to us includes zombie spillins).
