This fantastic blade could be the only thing between you and a savage brain-eater trying to kill you, so it's a good idea to always have one of these on hand. You never know when the zombie apocalypse might hit and when it happens, a gun will only get you so far. A blade is much more stealthy, allowing you to decapitate the undead in a quiet manner so as not to attract unwanted attention from the hordes of walking corpses. Also, a knife will never run out of bullets and is the ultimate weapon for hand-to-hand combat.
