Biggest thing about this blade that makes it stand apart... it feels like a fighting blade. An extension of your hand. Yet still performs big time in the woods. I don't find many big blades I can say that about. Kinda the way a BK9 feels, but bigger. Not something everyone has to run out and buy, but when the price is in the upper $200 range, it's videos like this you help you understand what you are getting before you drop that coin.
big fan chris! you're spot on with the big blade analyses. you convinced me to get the schrade bolo. my fave line was bolo means big Ole chopper offer! I like it better than most of my very expensive blades. it holds an edge too. keep up the good work my friend. ✌ p.s. get a custom blade that you designed and sell that thing. call it the Chris's all purpose slasher. C.A.P.S. just an idea. peace
Hey Tac , People certainly live in a dream when considering " high quality " . Speaking for myself , I own a few Zombie Tools and personally , without any doubt , they live up to their slogan . " A FIST FULL OF FUCK YEAH ! "
ZT is good shizzle. Chris Tanner seems like a good guy too. It does say a lot about someone in what they trust their friends with. That is a statement. Well done my friend as always.
Another awesome video. Yes the Z.T. are expensive, but you get what you pay for. You know their tools will last longer than we will, so pony up and enjoy some quality. :)
I wouldn’t call these expensive in the slightest. Definitely a great value for what you get. Due to inflation these days, you can find these for $300. Still a great value for the quality and craftsmanship behind zombie tools products. The wait time though sucks.
It is a nice blade and another outstanding video. After watching Chris with it at the Blade Show and his review I was interested. I have been looking forward to you getting your hands on that blade. Your testing matches how it looks. I too was wondering about the leather wrapped handle. Did you come up with a rating number?
Awesome review! God I love that blade, actually I just checked their webpage and now is available for purchase! Price is $274.95. Also huge shootout to Chris for letting you play with his TOY!
what i like about u Tactical is that you seem to be consistant in your videos, keeping it real and adding your personal spicy language -i'm not saying i like "all of it" hehe but it brings something that "the other review people" dont have ;) appreciation from Norway man !
Your videos rock Tac, keep up the good work. Im getting into knifes alot more now just watching your vids. Just ordered a KA-BAR BK7, cant wait to try it out.
that's a Lotta cheese but it's frickin nice. should have a better steel for the price. if it was a hundy less I would buy it but I don't think it beats the cold steel warcraft 12 inch. that's a beauty.
Marc Rhodes True, make it $200 and make it out of 01 tool steel or A2 and that's a pretty good bargain, or switch the steel to something like 3V or S7 and it should be worth $250 or maybe the price it's going for now. I also think that micarta scales would be better than this weird leather-wrapped aluminium handle.
Alexander Moffitt Well, I wouldn't say that it's shit, it looks like it's made pretty well, and the materials aren't terrible, the design looks cool and pretty functional, though it is radically over-priced, I totally agree with you there.
Bullpup92 I didn't mean that the blade is shit, it looks pretty badass and I'd definitely add one to my collection if the price was better like $150 or so. I mean it's shitty how it's so overpriced.
That is basically a parang. A variation of a machete that originated from the Nusantara region. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Southern Thailand. It has 3 sweet spots for chopping, skinning and carving. Suited for the Nusantara rainforest where the vegetation is thicker than South America.
Why? Plenty of people do that. Factory edges don't last. I think it's better to show what it CAN do. Anyone buying blades should know how to sharpen. Lot of great blades that come with subpar edges. I've been told through the grapevine that Busses don't come super sharp because people do the crazy abuse tests. I want to know how sharp I CAN make it. That speaks to the blade geometry. Something like the Gerber Strongarm or Schrade SCHF1...they have steep geometry and are VERY difficult to get really sharp. Only way to know that, is to sharpen it.
Dear Mr. Tactical your videos are great and I am a big fan of yours I was wondering if you would be able to show us how you do some of your traps like the figure 4? or any others? thank you very much just for reading this
Tac, my boys and I loved this video...making fun of Pokémon crap...confirming zombies are real!!! We enjoyed your humor!!! And my 10 year old is ready to buy a Bad Ace Zombie tool! Keep it up Bro!!!!
+PREPAREDMIND101 you talking about that SAS bow I'm going to go watch that video right now actualy I have not seen it yet I was actualy thinking about adding some wilsons wrap to my little bark River ultra lite bushcrafter to thicken up the handle a little bit or add some ranger bands to it you should get your hands on one of these to go good with the bushbat or as a new neck knife
dude, when I seen the recurve on that blade, I was like oh hell yeah dude. I love recurves... their my favorite. any big blades with recurves you know of tac?
MR.tactical this zombie tools comparison to esee junglas which one is more comfortable and flexible and these two big knives which one you will choose It?
tac you should check out the zombie tools felon. and the prices are high but your getting a hand made blade from a bunch of awesome dudes and all thwre stuff are tanks
You're right about leather wrapped handles, most times after use the handle looks like something that would be found in prison. :) maybe. Good review !
So last week a cop was sitting in parking lot for close to 2hrs. I worked my way towards him. Hey officer, whatcha doing? Looking for Pokémon? he called me an asshole and drove away after minor yet civil words exchanged.
Yeah lower the grind angle for lower resistance then just keep it for shtf situations. Razor sharp makes all the difference. I see the difference when I reuse a broad head when bowhunting. that one time after you shoot it it's still sharp but not scalpel sharp and they don't fully pass through the deer like when they're brand new.
I say mr tac, any chance, if you still have the knife, you could try filleting a fish, chopping a tomato or buttering some bread? I would like to see how a blade like that does every day tasks as any old axe or folding saw will take down a tree...just a thought, no criticism intended.

Hey Tac ,
People certainly live in a dream when considering " high quality " .
Speaking for myself , I own a few Zombie Tools and personally , without any doubt , they live up to their slogan .
" A FIST FULL OF FUCK YEAH ! "
to bad I can't use these punk ass thumbs down bitches & use them for blade tests...that would be fun as fuck
love the intro
fuck yeah freestyle on the haters!!
yeah !.
Love your haters man, they add to your ratings too.
Just use them in you next zombie video.. kinda like fancy pants got it..
Awesome, Mr. Tac.! Always nice to see some freestyle and fun-having hahah! Aww yeah!
ZT is good shizzle. Chris Tanner seems like a good guy too. It does say a lot about someone in what they trust their friends with. That is a statement. Well done my friend as always.
It slices, it dices, it'll even blast through trees like butter.....awwww yeah! Nice vid Tac!
Another awesome video. Yes the Z.T. are expensive, but you get what you pay for. You know their tools will last longer than we will, so pony up and enjoy some quality. :)

Gold!
You should try the cold steel 1917 bowie knife next
It is a nice blade and another outstanding video. After watching Chris with it at the Blade Show and his review I was interested. I have been looking forward to you getting your hands on that blade. Your testing matches how it looks. I too was wondering about the leather wrapped handle. Did you come up with a rating number?
Tact, you keep making em and I'll keep watching em! Thumbs up big son!!
Awesome review! God I love that blade, actually I just checked their webpage and now is available for purchase! Price is $274.95. Also huge shootout to Chris for letting you play with his TOY!
Tac, I have always loved how you don't fuck up living trees!
Love your videos man, this blade got me looking at their products.. Thanks for sharing.
I have several Zombie Tools now. I think they are a great bargain you definitely get what you pay for! I plan to get more!
Man I love these tree fighting videos ;)
Hey, Tac! it's like a tradition now, every Zombie Tool you review you chop down a tree.
hell ya!
Nice test and tree drop bro! Nice bit on this one!
Brother I can watch ur shit all day long everyday!!!! Respect from Canada!!
Awsome knife. Feels like you could take anything on that was coming for you.
Nice, zombie tools for the zombie Slayer. Thanks Tac for the review.
What a nice guy that PM101 is to lend you a blade! Has He EVER Watched YOUR Knife Tests? LoL
Reminds me of the tops armageddon, the grind and blade shape
Tac, my man, i know you said you dont overly love doi reviews but damn did this one look like fun to make. Great video like always Tac.
what i like about u Tactical is that you seem to be consistant in your videos, keeping it real and adding your personal spicy language -i'm not saying i like "all of it" hehe but it brings something that "the other review people" dont have ;) appreciation from Norway man !
thanks man
Your videos rock Tac, keep up the good work. Im getting into knifes alot more now just watching your vids. Just ordered a KA-BAR BK7, cant wait to try it out.
This is going for $274.95 on their website in case anyone is curious.
that's a Lotta cheese but it's frickin nice. should have a better steel for the price. if it was a hundy less I would buy it but I don't think it beats the cold steel warcraft 12 inch. that's a beauty.

Bullpup92 overpriced shit. It's nice and all but not worth $275
Alexander Moffitt Well, I wouldn't say that it's shit, it looks like it's made pretty well, and the materials aren't terrible, the design looks cool and pretty functional, though it is radically over-priced, I totally agree with you there.
Bullpup92 I didn't mean that the blade is shit, it looks pretty badass and I'd definitely add one to my collection if the price was better like $150 or so. I mean it's shitty how it's so overpriced.
those captions on that intro said yeah, you just blew down the shitter. im rollin
That is basically a parang. A variation of a machete that originated from the Nusantara region. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Southern Thailand. It has 3 sweet spots for chopping, skinning and carving. Suited for the Nusantara rainforest where the vegetation is thicker than South America.
And that's deadwood! If that shit was green you would be on your second or third tree by now. Great exhibition man, thanks!
i knew that was a good blade as soon as i held it so badass
I think (idk) that with there shop being as small as it is they must have to raise the price or drop quality?
Not sure.
Oooooohhhh that's a man chopper love it love it
I just wish PM101 would leave the Factory Edges on stuff before lending them out.
from what i hear zombie tools stuff comes half decently sharpened out of the box, not shaving sharp but sharp enough for use.
Pm101 sharpened it up on his worksharp. He got crazy sharp. But it is nice to see how good they are sharp sharp...
Brian Mccann those things look great for putting a fast but scary edge on almost anything.
I've got one, and i can second that
They're pretty easy in use too
Why? Plenty of people do that. Factory edges don't last. I think it's better to show what it CAN do. Anyone buying blades should know how to sharpen. Lot of great blades that come with subpar edges. I've been told through the grapevine that Busses don't come super sharp because people do the crazy abuse tests. I want to know how sharp I CAN make it. That speaks to the blade geometry.

How old is our Mr. Tac ??. Love your video stuff, you make testing fun mate. And what is the bast knife to start "pro" survival/bushcraft things ?
Dear Mr. Tactical
your videos are great and I am a big fan of yours
I was wondering if you would be able to show us how you do some of your traps
like the figure 4? or any others?
thank you very much just for reading this
Do you think the Parabellum is better to buy than the Jessica X?
Another awesome video! Tx Tec! Keep em coming!!!
Tac, my boys and I loved this video...making fun of Pokémon crap...confirming zombies are real!!! We enjoyed your humor!!! And my 10 year old is ready to buy a Bad Ace Zombie tool! Keep it up Bro!!!!
bro we need more vids from you dawg our lives depend on it! your my altime favorite youtuber i love u man!
That's one impressive blade!
3:03 "take ur time, use ur brain... " i was waitin for, "don't be a dink" lmao
0.o i want one take my money, is stainless or carbon?
Tactical what type of mic do u use for ur videos I need good graphics and sound in my videos
so you're saying.....it's a knife?
My swords got stolen will to get rid of any ?
Great job! Awesome tool! I have every Zombie Tool made :-) Love them
I think the handle wrap is from Chris he always does that Wilson wrap so is there leather underneath that or is it just aluminum
That's their wrap. I didn't put anything on it.
+PREPAREDMIND101 oh ok cool I no you do that a lot on quite a few of your big blades
Not much anymore. But it did work nice on that new bow.
+PREPAREDMIND101 you talking about that SAS bow I'm going to go watch that video right now actualy I have not seen it yet I was actualy thinking about adding some wilsons wrap to my little bark River ultra lite bushcrafter to thicken up the handle a little bit or add some ranger bands to it you should get your hands on one of these to go good with the bushbat or as a new neck knife
I use that wilson tape on my BK9 it works great. The grip and control it gives is awesome.
I would love to buy that Zombie Tools Parabellum, would you sale it to me?
It wasn't mine
What is it about 4mm? How is top end weight?
dude, when I seen the recurve on that blade, I was like oh hell yeah dude. I love recurves... their my favorite. any big blades with recurves you know of tac?
Tac loves beer, boobs and recurves! The bigger the better for all 3!
if you like recurves then go find yourself a yataghan
Me too liam lol
What's a yataghan
Danny Schreckengost a turkish knife/ sword depending on size and its recurvd
Which is better, the cold steel Warcraft tanto XL or this?
Leather wrap?
Hey man. Are you the guy from Sesame Street who was counting stars?
Good review, but I have to comment this...
2016: Oh boy, another tactical survival person wearing a mask.
2020: Responsible person.
Holy Moly, a very nice knife! :)
how much will it cost
How tall are you because it looks quite small for you but it could actually be huge
lily cormack 5 ft 5
Love the song can some give me the name of this song ....yeahhhh baby
MR.tactical
this zombie tools comparison to esee junglas which one is more comfortable and flexible and these two big knives which one you will choose It?
the junglas
+Tactical
thank you cool man
Tactical how about vs the Armageddon?
the only thing I kept thinking was "please don't tip test please dont" lmao
I like how the acid etching comes off on some spots, it is like a fine old used AK-47, adds character. lol
Got my sub bro! Awesome work!
Godsmack in intro?
Disturbed.
Welp, i know what im buying next. Awesome vid Tac!
Looks like the armageddon without that pinky breaker.
What's the title of the song in the intro
Sons of Plunder...Disturbed
Also what camcorder I need one
Sweet blade brother
tac you should check out the zombie tools felon. and the prices are high but your getting a hand made blade from a bunch of awesome dudes and all thwre stuff are tanks
great video buddy!!
$4$ which would you recommend? This, or the ESEE Junglas
Junglas
Kershaw camp 10. chops like the parabellum, beat the junglas in the chop tests. not the best steel ofc, but that's why it's only $35
Nice knife !!!! Great review
👍
You're right about leather wrapped handles, most times after use the handle looks like something that would be found in prison. :) maybe. Good review !
Is that Zombie tools Parabellum stainless or is it carbon
5160 spring steel
@@cbr600rrturbo yea i know the steel, btw love your videos
nice blade! that spring steel is tough as shit
If that is a tool for zombies then I want to see it draw blood. I'd say Chippy would be a good test subject
hot damnit... I want another one now!
Are you in Wisconsin?
Ny
hell yeah bro your lucky to have it wish i could afford it
badass brother! this knife is sweet!
that things a beast tac I love the acid etching on it but yes Zombie Tools are pricey but it's worth it
Ah the Kali is strong in that one.
Dope intro bro
Face reveal???
So last week a cop was sitting in parking lot for close to 2hrs. I worked my way towards him. Hey officer, whatcha doing? Looking for Pokémon?
he called me an asshole and drove away after minor yet civil words exchanged.
You are the best
tac zombietools usual puts a sharp edge on their blades regardless
Not like MY sharp...
still sharp by most standards
Yeah lower the grind angle for lower resistance then just keep it for shtf situations. Razor sharp makes all the difference. I see the difference when I reuse a broad head when bowhunting. that one time after you shoot it it's still sharp but not scalpel sharp and they don't fully pass through the deer like when they're brand new.
another great vid man! :D
great vid my man
This legal in the uk I'm guessing no
Fusion of souls not shur
Tactical oh my god your replies :)
ZT blades are worth what you get. They are some of the better blades out there the QUality Control is Awesome.
Love your videos Man! Haha

Hey playboy you need ZT to custom one for you the Tacical zombie tools awwh yeah

Zombie Tools makes some tough shit
I say mr tac, any chance, if you still have the knife, you could try filleting a fish, chopping a tomato or buttering some bread? I would like to see how a blade like that does every day tasks as any old axe or folding saw will take down a tree...just a thought, no criticism intended.
That’s one mean looking blade
