You may never run into an actual zombie outside of a Halloween flash mob, but that’s no excuse not to keep a few of these M48 Ranger Hawk Axes around the house, just in case. Sixty bucks gets you a lovely upswept stainless steel blade attached to a reinforced handle made from 30 percent fiberglass so it’s light and easy to carry. Because the last thing you want is this weighing you down when you’re cleaving braindead skulls.
