It started when I saw a couple "tactical" hatchets on another forum.

You know the kind: exposed tang, synthetic scales, etc.

I said something dumb in the Shoutbox, about liking them, but thinking that a hammer might be a better choice.

Then, I started actually thinking about it.

It would work. Self defense, breaching, escape and extrication, and telling everyone around you to FUCK OFF if you wore it on your person.

I want it, but I have to say that I don't, really don't, have any need for it.

Please talk me out of the whole silly notion. I'm not some fucking Rambo urban warrior.

You could drill out the handle and keep urban survival tools inside it! Like... A bus timetable, a lighter, a cigar, change for the bus.. The list (unlike the handle) is endless!

We are talking about a Zimmermannshammer now? :really:

A hammer AND the willingness to prevail are all you'll ever need. Of course, you could replace the word "hammer" with almost anything, so there you go. Personally, I prefer the Estwing 24 ounce framing hammer with the smooth face, but I earn a living with it, so you urban prepper ninjas might prefer something different.

Yeah, I think that about does it.

Thanks, everyone, especially Stonepaw and Cone, for emphasizing the fact that this belongs in the "urban prepper ninja" category.

Incidentally, I have a 24 oz Estwing straight-claw hammer. It's part of my "serious business" carry, along with the rest of my hand tools.

I'm not going to post pictures, because I don't want other people to know how much I've spent on hand- and power tools over the years....

Tooooooo fuckin' late, mate!

Plus they'll be laughing on the other side of their face when the zombie hoard is coming for them and all they've got is a tactical pen and a folding knife. Oh, and a keychain. P.S. painting it flouro green will make it more efficient.

My plan B for a zombie apocalypse would be a Saiga, 12 gauge, full auto shotgun with a muzzle compensator.

I'll also take two clips of slugs, and three clips of flechettes.

If you're not familiar with flechettes, it's kind of like this:

Kick down door, estimate fifteen hostiles.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

Three rounds expended, room is clear. Moving on.

Plan C would be an Odachi, of all things.

The larger brother of the katana is still the best option for beheading. Large, light, and optimized for slashing, it's hard to beat for the job.

Those of you who are paying attention have noticed that I started with plan B.

Plan A is a good pair of boots to run away, and a horse, to run away faster.

Flechettes are cool. I want some for my 870. Have heard a DIY version is to cut a wire hanger into 1" lengths and load into your shells. Not as fancy.

If we are talking hammers for a Zombie Apocalypse, why not use a roofer's hammer? Small hatchet edge on one side, hammer face on the other.

Another fan of the 24 oz., eh? You get that little bit of extra oomph that is missing form the 22 oz. without all of the I'veblownmyelboout of the 28oz. I knew I liked you.
