Zombie-Proof Machetes

This Zombie Machete Features Fake Blood on the Outside of the Blade

— January 22, 2016 — Art & Design
This blood-tipped emergency zombie machete is specially designed for fending off legions of the undead.

Made by Z-Hunter, known for its line of zombie-themed blades, the 'Blood Tipped Machete' measures in at a total of 27.5 inches, with an impressive 15.5 inch stainless steel blade. The blade also features serrated teeth that have been also splattered in simulated blood, to help complete the zombie machete's fearsome look.

Besides looking gruesome, the machete also comes complete with a nylon sheath, and even has a handle that's been wrapped in nylon cord that'll be perfect for an emergency. Although the odds are you won't actually be running into any brain craving zombies, the blade does have uses besides fending off the undead. You can actually use the teeth on the blade as an emergency bottle opener as well.
