Next to the Special Forces Shovel and the Ka-Bar Zombie Killer Knives, the Gerber Gator Machete Pro is just as good of a weapon to use during a zombie apocalypse.
If the Gerber Gator Machete Pro looks familiar, it's probably because you saw it on the season two premiere episode of The Walking Dead. This bad boy is a multipurpose blade that can function as an ax and knife that will easily lop off the head of any flesh eater. It has a rubberized handle to provide a secure grip, a military nylon sheath and a sharpening stone.
Of course, if the zombie apocalypse doesn't happen, you can use it for more mundane everyday tasks such as cutting branches.
