Dillon Aero.

Need a lot of ammo for that!

Cutting tools just need sharpening!
As long as we’re dreaming my Aero comes with an unlimited supply! And A10 support!

Yeah, but give them the warning, tickle the trigger a couple of times, and problem solved. Don’t go hog wild spraying and praying.

The Darn Dao or the Street Bowie.
Both are Large fixed blades which would enable me to kill zombies at a greater distance.
Although my S&W might suit better...

Nightstick and mop handle from the janitors closed to make a spear, then a folder from the R&D department that hasn't been announced yet.

I don't think I would leave if I made it into SFO, I'd just hang out with you fellas :winking-tongue

I'll limit my choices to current production knives. For a folder, I'd grab either the Police 4 Lightweight in VG-10 or the Yojumbo in S30V... either choice provides a lot of reach for a folder (maintaining distance would be important against zombies, I would think), and I am also fairly familiar with either design as I've used both knives for work. For a fixed-blade, I'd choose the Street Bowie or the Waterway.

Well for up close but hopefully I would just use a rifle with decent optics, I'm old and out of shape. :zany

I don't know why every zombie movie get this wrong, but if you want to fight zombies without guns, then you'd used what humans used as the main basis for warfare from pre-history right up to the arrival of firearms - spear and shield. And I would hang around with a group of friends who were armed the same way and train to fight together in close formation.

Modern riot gear (full-length transparent shield, and plastic body armor to protect from bites) would be a great improvement over heavier historical armor.

What Spyderco knife would I take? A lightweight, practical fixed blade for general day-to-day utility - Waterway, Bradley Bowie, or maybe an original Temperance (wish they would bring that back and/or make an Enuff 2 with better steel).

I’m switching my pick to the Fish Hunter.

You really want to get into the braincase to be sure to put your average zombie down.

And zombie brains are probably pretty corrosive, so there’s that.

In my imagination zombies have pretty soft flesh, so this whale rescue turned slasher would do a fine job! Tip reprofiled (to make it pointy and sharp) by AgarthaAudio (aka bladechops), and coarse peel ply orange G10 scales by Knockwood Blades.
Considering optimal range would be a decisive factor in its philosophy of use, this seems like the most sensible option so far. Also very on season and on theme. Spyderco actually makes this?!?

It is a heavily modified whale rescue blade! Sadly they don’t make it anymore.

It's a masterpiece, kinda reminds me of my Silky pullsaw and likely has a flexible blade also?
