Ka-Bar Zombie Acheron Knife

Skeletonized Fixed Blade

The Ka-Bar Zombie Acheron is a compact fixed-blade knife, meaning the blade does not fold and has no hinge or lock that can fail. It is built from a single piece of steel, with the handle cut away into open loops instead of carrying separate scales. That keeps it light and slim enough to carry as a backup or neck knife. It comes from Ka-Bar's Zombie line and carries the line's biohazard-style emblem on the blade.

Features

• One-Piece Steel Construction — Blade and handle are cut from the same piece of steel, so there is no joint between them to loosen or snap.
• Skeletonized Handle — The handle is cut out into open frames, which takes away weight and bulk while leaving a full steel outline to grip.
• Finger Cutouts — Open loops along the handle give your fingers a place to sit and help keep your hand from sliding forward onto the edge.
• Clip-Point Blade — The spine dips down toward a fine tip, a profile that handles piercing and detail work as well as general cutting.
• Plain Edge — A straight, unserrated edge is easy to touch up on a stone or rod in the field.
• Black Finish — Blade and handle share a matte black finish that cuts down on glare.
• Thumb Notches — A short row of notches on the spine near the handle gives your thumb purchase for controlled cuts.
• Fitted Sheath Included — A grey sheath shaped to the blade ships with the knife and has holes at the tip end for lashing or attaching cord.
• Cord-Wrap Ready — You can wrap the open handle with paracord or tape to add thickness and grip.

Build and Carry

Ka-Bar marks the knife with its name on the blade behind the Zombie emblem. Because there are no handle scales to crack or come loose, the knife needs little upkeep beyond keeping the edge sharp. The supplied sheath and its tip holes let you carry it on a cord around the neck, lash it to a pack strap, or keep it in a kit bag.
