I had one of those a while back... I really liked it and regret selling it.

Great review, Skal. I am getting one shipped out to me from VA sometime this week, so now I'm even more excited about it.

I wonder how I missed seeing this video, since I was just on your channel watching some of your other stuff less than an hour ago. Anyways, great review, though the Zombie Slayer isn't exactly my cup of tea.

I think I ordered mine in early June and Sonny mentioned today that it should be shipping out later this week. So I don't think the wait time is quite that excessive as of now... unless the queue lengthened substantially after I ordered mine.

Sometimes I miss mine. Sold it because I wanted the money and I knew it would go quick but I regret the decision every time I see pics of one.

Yes, you might. For my part, I think this is a pretty damn nice sword, virtually impossible to GET. For that reason? Please consider buying sound steel, any way you can, then MAKING It what you desire. Now, I really hope I'm dead wrong - I hope you CAN actually order this sword, and GET the sword, they way you want it. So far, my personal data indicates that this is low probability . then please call the custom sword shoppe and ask them about it.

There has been discussion of the back carrier baldric on many different forums and on this video. I would like to state the "intended" design of the carrier. When designing the harness for this sword back when it was in development, a lot of thought went into what type of belt, harness or carrier it should have.
In keeping with the Zombie Apocalypse theme, I decided (right or wrong) that anyone living in an actual Zombie Apocalypse would not want to have a sword hanging from their hip. The thought was that you would carry the sword on your back while scavenging for food or supplies. If you did encounter any of the "undead" you would remove the entire setup and draw the sword and probably toss the scabbard to the side until you had taken care of business. The sword was never meant to be "drawn from the back"
This may not be ideal for everyone but finding something ideal for everyone is not usually possible. That's my 2 cents. You don't have to agree with my thinking. Diversity of opinion is the reality of life. Thanks Sonny

I like the back carry for the zombie slayer cause as sonny said it fits with the end of world I see it as a back up weapon to firearms or if you need to take of a zombie quietly. I just wish it was made of kydex and nylon instead of leather again cause of the theme of this sword and hey you can always change it to what you want.an thanks sonny for your fast response to my e-mail about what was going on with the zombie slayer.can't wait to get my hands on mine.
