New Prototype: d’Capitan
May we introduce the pièce de résistance of Zombie Tools’ spring lineup of blades: d’Capitan.
If we do say so ourselves, d’Capitan is the most badassest collision of form and function we’ve come up with here in the ZT labs. Created by ZT Blade Design Czar, Maxon, and modeled loosely after the medieval falcata, d’Capitan is designed to deliver a ferocious flesh-rending hack while still maintaining some of the speed and versatility of a sword. A totally new handle design provides good hand protection and one of the more comfortable grips we’ve produced. West, Zombie Tools’ Safety Officer and Product Testing Czar, rates d’Capitan at a minimum of 75 zombies per hour*. The production model will have a slight modification to the blade shape and a half-inch more room in the handle for larger mitts, but overall we’re so happy with d’Capitan that we moisten our short pants a little every time we see it.
More to come in the next couple days....the production version of the Urban Bone Machete Mark III and Femme Fatale (which will have a different name, if we can just....fucking....think.....of one), and introducing the Para Bellum and a new t-shirt design.
(*your mileage may vary.)

i wet my shorts a little just looking at it too and i have a good name for ya: the baby bitch
I'm actually rather in favour of retaining the name "Femme Fatale". It works rather nicely! Unless you want to go with something like 'Wolverine', 'Widowmaker', 'Corpsemaker', "Reaper", 'Valkyrie' (which has a nice thematic cohesion with Femme Fatale), 'Ragnarok', 'Nergal', 'Morrigan', 'Osiris', 'Werewolf', 'Viper', 'Assassin'. Damn I love English!
keep in mind she may not be as small as we saw in the report but valkyrie does sound good
i'd have more of a 70 zph ratio with that blade but it does look good
My favourite by far; ain't she a beauty. 25 inches of nothing but blood and metal between the handle and a zombie. Good length for those zombies who think they can get within arms reach of you, just lop of the arms and forwards comes the ugly mothers head.
