The Slingshot Channel did a cooperation with James Helm, fellow Zombie Squad member, who is a blacksmith working from out of Texas.
He says about himself "Proud to be a Neo-Tribal Metalsmith scavenging the wreckage of civilization". We like that a lot! His blades are mostly made from steel you can harvest from truck leaf springs. He leaves the hammer marks on his blades, but sharpens the edges so you can shave the hairs of any of your body parts
It took about one year to happen, but the hand forged blade arrived in Germany at last.
It is a short sword, ideal for short distance fighting, but powerful enough to chop Zombie heads of with ease.
We decided to also use scrap material, that can be found in a post apocalyptic world, so the final weapon would look like the weapon of a post Zombie pandemic survivor and warrior.
We also made the sheath, from plywood (three layers of 6mm). We settled for a stiff harness, so the sword can be drawn with one hand.
We finally attached three layers of TBG, for secure Zombie killing power.
The video shows the sword against the Zombie Go Boom head, which it splits with ease. Of course another coconut test is included as well.
