The Large Retribution Fighter from custom knife maker Jerry Hossom is a knife that resembles the Roman kopis, or fighting sword. The blade, 11.125″ in length, is made from CPM-3V steel that has a DLC coating. The handle is made from dyed stabilized burl and sports mosaic pins, which nicely complements the wooden handle. With an overall length of 18″ and weighing a hefty 15 ounces, the Large Retribution Fighter feels substantial in hand yet is light enough for some serious zombie close combat fighting. This knife was acquired from Blade 2015. (Photo: darcuss – BladeForums)

A custom flipper from David Mosier, the Crossfire has a two-tone finish on both the blade and its titanium handle. Sporting warm brass undertones, the lightweight titanium handle seems like a different species of metal from your typical Ti-handle knife. The S30V blade complements the blade design, which has a clip-point shape that is strengthened towards the tip for a strong point. It also has a false edge and a small thumb groove for delicate tasks, and a tip-up pocket clip for ease of use. (Photo: vermicelli – BladeForums)

Opinel pocket knives are one of the most popular and inexpensive pocket knives available. Knifemaker Ross Tyler modded the No4 carbon steel knife, which he describes as a “pimped up toxic post apocalyptic Steam punk’ish Opinel mod”.

The carbon steel no.4 Opinel blade was striped out then dark etched in ferric with a hint of copper. The Higonokami style one piece handle was beaten out of an old copper pipe, which was flattened then hammer hardened. It is secured with a kydex eyelet and a torx pivot and was then all etched, brass blackened and then stone washed for an aged effect.
