Now you can give your favorite zak-killer his or her choice of blade with a ZT gift certificate. Available now and here: http://zombietools.net/t_shirts_plus/ And a relevant reminder: with our 7- to 8-week turnaround time on blade orders, we’ll be cutting off Christmas blade orders really early this year—probably sometime in late October. If you want to give a blade this year, get your orders in now. Otherwise, we can get you a gift certificate as late as Dec 17.… 2012-10-05T15:57:09+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/new_video_joey_vs_the_can_pyramid/ http://zombietools.net/site/new_video_joey_vs_the_can_pyramid/#When:22:49:05Z 2012-08-14T22:49:05+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/zt_on_the_cover_of_blade_magazine/ http://zombietools.net/site/zt_on_the_cover_of_blade_magazine/#When:16:26:33Z Look Ma! We made the cover of the Rolling Stone….of blades. The October issue of blade magazine (hitting newsstands this week) has a feature on “zombie blades”, and we somehow managed to snag the cover shot with a hammer-finished Vakra. We did an interview with the writer of the article, but he only used a few quotes, so we thought we’d publish the whole thing here. Thanks, BLADE! FULL INTERVIEW FOR BLADE MAGAZINE How did you guys get together? Zombie Tools started by the sword and it will likely end by the sword. In 2000 Joey and Maxon found… 2012-07-12T16:26:33+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/new_2012_zt_logo_t-shirt/ http://zombietools.net/site/new_2012_zt_logo_t-shirt/#When:17:07:22Z We gave our logo design a little kick in the ass and it seems to have gotten its shit together quite nicely. You go, logo! We’ll be rolling out a bunch of new merch over the next few weeks bearing the new brand. First up, a t-shirt, now on sale. Stay tuned for a new vinyl decal, a hat, and…ah, we can’t wait for this one….a monstrously hip hip-flask. Oh yeah…..and we’ve got some new blade designs, too. First announcement on Thursday. 2012-05-16T17:07:22+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/new_video_destroying_the_deuce/ http://zombietools.net/site/new_video_destroying_the_deuce/#When:14:10:06Z What kind of punishment can the Deuce take? A few weeks ago we put the blade through a series of torture tests with the goal of breaking the thing. We cut phonebooks, a wood pallet, a hockey table, a truck hood, a bike frame, some cinder blocks, and then did a number of bend tests. The Deuce finally met its end on a reinforced concrete highway divider. This video contains some of the best clips from the tests. And if you missed our video of Max cutting 24 PBR cans with an Apokatana, well,… 2011-09-28T14:10:06+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/new_weapon_released_-_the_spit/ http://zombietools.net/site/new_weapon_released_-_the_spit/#When:15:53:47Z Four feet long, a double-edged blade, and a chisel tip that pines to pierce. Introducing the Spit, the latest addition to the ZT arsenal. Modeled after the Iklwa, a weapon of the Zulus in southern Africa, she’s one of the most versatile blades we’ve come up with yet. It took us 8 months to finally figure this girl out, but we’re glad we stuck with it. She’s a new shop favorite, and a favorite of folks we showed it to at the recent CombatCon in Vegas. More new blades on the way in the coming month. We’re giving the D’Capitan… 2011-07-06T15:53:47+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/zombie_tools_heads_to_vegas_for_combatcon/ http://zombietools.net/site/zombie_tools_heads_to_vegas_for_combatcon/#When:18:02:32Z How could we pass up this up? A weekend of drinking, gambling, and swordfighting in Sin City? Oh, hell yes. ZT will be heading to the first CombatCon at the Tuscany Hotel in Las Vegas, June 24 - 26. We, along with half a dozen other bladesmiths, will have a booth with our blades. We’ll be hanging out with blade combat instructors, Hollywood fight choreographers, and swordsmen of all stripes. We’ll be fighting rapier and doing some test cutting. And we will, if history is any guide, not remember a whole lot of it. If you’re in the area,… 2011-05-17T18:02:32+00:00 http://zombietools.net/post/cutting_beer_cans_with_the_apokatana/ http://zombietools.net/site/cutting_beer_cans_with_the_apokatana/#When:18:53:17Z Max takes on a 24 pack of PBR cans with an Apokatana. No beer was harmed in the making of this video. 2011-05-03T18:53:17+00:00
