There's certainly solid precedent for the use of the khukuri in an anti-zombie application:

...there's knives in this photo?

I'll just grab this simply because in my whole life I'm more familiar with this ;)

It's a Parang Lading Pendek :)

Now that it's in my possession... my Knight Khuk and Ed Brown Kobra would be a great fighting duo!!

Thanks Joe!
Some other knife might works better but I've been using and handling this type of Parang Lading Pendek since I was a small kid.
IMVHO familiarity helps a lot when come to actual surprising situation, what say you Joe?

OAL 17", blade 11 1/2", handle 5 1/2", width at the ricasso 1 1/8", width at the widest part 1 7/8", cutting edge 8 1/4", thickness at the ricasso 5/16", thickness at ~ 1" from the tip 1/8".
Blade material is Balik Mipih (i.e. Indonesian San Mai Damascus), handle material is unknown local hardwood and fixtures material is brass.
It has a rat tail tang which was screwed to the pommel.
The weight is just nice for my Southeast Asian body size whereby it's not too heavy and not too light :)

That is one of Lamey's best IMO.
 
A local client of mine posted this on another forum. He just received the lower blade (from his wife as a birthday gift) a few days ago as a companion piece for the sword from last year. (last year's gift).

Wow, you guys are awesome, I've learned so much about customs and their makers from this thread. I can't imagine how to go about getting on a makers "good list" to be on the receiving end of some of these blades. Ty for the pics too!

That is the fantastic thing about some of the projects I try and do with makers like Jason

These makers sometimes are not even taking orders so these projects if you are in the right place at the right time can land you a piece from one of the unattainable makers put there.

Good luck :)
 
Rick - most excellent zombie blades for sure. Stuart - I forgot about that sword - that'll do nicely.
 
Not the best pic... but two FANTASTIC Blades that I'd grab!!

Nick Wheeler Chopper and Jason Knight Khukuri... :)
