:eek: SOLD for $725 with sheath and paypal fees included!Test Team Edition Killa Zilla for sale!!! :eek: Includes a PHENOMENAL Buy Brown open spine kydex sheath.


the overall length is 18.75 inches, and the blade is 12.25.

It's .260 thick at the ricasso, and weighs 1040 grams

This knife has been used twice - once with the factory edge (which was way too thick to be useful), and once after thinning out the profile. The thinner, sharper edge I put on the Zilla massively improved its performance. If you want to actually use a Killa Zilla, this is the one to get - it's already been sharpened, and the hard work is done for you!

There is some surface staining from tree sap. I polished most of the staining out on one side, then the knife bit me pretty hard on the finger, and I decided to quit while I was ahead. A little metal polish and a green scrubby pad should get the stains out of the other side if you really want to, but I suggest just beating on it instead :thumbup:


I am asking SOLD for $725 shipped, with insurance. Prefer money order, but will eat the Paypal fees.




Thanks for looking.

A little back story: This knife was first offered at the BLADE show in Atlanta. As part of the Test Team, buyers of the Zilla agreed to report their findings back to Jerry, and to not post reviews, in-use pictures, sell the knife for six months.

Today marks exactly six months from the day I bought the blade. What I have realized is that, while the Zilla is an awesome and impressive massive chunk of INFI, I like my knives thin, and I've got a LOT of money tied up in this very thick full convex ground INFI beast.

Updated with a price drop - if you're gonna use it anyway, save a few bucks and buy one that's nice and sharp! The edge out of the box was underwhelming, but this sucker will really chop now!
 
Updated original post - I will eat the paypal fees, but still prefer a money order to save me the 30 or so bucks I'd lose taking paypal.

As far as your question on length...

I don't have the blade length handy, but do have it in a spreadsheet at home. I will post the OAL and blade length when I get home tonight.

In the meantime, here's a comparison shot next to some other knives to give you some idea of scale.

Left to right: Cold Steel LTC Kukri, Busse Killa Zilla, Swamp Rat M9LE, Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie, Busse NMSFNO, Scrap Yard Regulator Bowie, and Swamp Rat Mini Mojo. Hope that helps.

updated original post to include more specs - the overall length is 18.75 inches, and the blade is 12.25.

Replied to all PM's - I really need cash on this one, so unless its a REALLY favorable trade combo, I'm gonna have to pass.
 
another price drop? I must be nuts - I'm losing some serious money on this one now - I paid around $700, plus tax, plus $60 for the sheath. Really prefer money orders, but will do paypal.

$750
 
Holiday shopping bump. With priority mail, this could be at your doorstep before Christmas :thumbup:
 
Bump. Too late to get it by Christmas, but it would be a great toy to dismantle the tree... :D :thumbup:
