Zombie Killer Kutlery: Apache

Apache EDC

Years in development, design and refinement with help from police, military, self defense professionals, hunting guides, taxidermists, friends and family, I'm excited to release the final model as of 2013. The ZK2 Apache is named in reverence and great respect in honor to the native people that were experts in guerrilla warfare. They knew a knife was essential to wilderness survival and self defense. The ZK2 Apache can accomplish both, all while being very easy to carry every day.

The ZK2 Apache is made from 1/8" 1095 58 rc. All ZK2 blades are heat treated by Peter's Heat Treating. While there, they undergo cryogenic treatment to -300 degrees to ensure a consistent temper.

Mod. 1

The Mod.1 is 7" oal with a 3" blade.

550 wrap handles are made in black, tan and od green.

Sheaths are also made in multiple colors. They are designed with a removable belt loop that allows the knife to be carried right or left and at your desired angle.

The 550 cord can be gutted or left whole.

The Mod. 1 is the perfect size for EDC.

The ZK2 Apache will be made in black oxide, ZK2 Zombie camo and soon to come stonewashed.

Training knives with their own sheaths will also be available.

With the belt loop removed the MK0 carries easily on a chest rig or plate carrier.

Where to buy and prices?

ZK2 is a small business that makes knives and tools by hand. This is very time consuming, and can make customers wait. In the past ZK2 had a two year wait. We can no longer make our customers wait this long for their knives.
To make more knives available, still handmade, ZK2 will make knives in batches and release various models a few times a year. This will also allow us to keep prices as low as we can while not sacrificing quality.

Knives will be posted in the available Zombie Killers page as they are finished.

ZK2 will do custom orders upon request, however we must charge a small percentage more than normal. A 50% deposit is also required. Time of completion will vary.

Thank you for your support!

About Us

ZK2 is a small business located in Grand Rapids Michigan. The owner, Jason VerVeer, has been hand making knives as a hobby for many years. He started by making knives out of old worn out files and heat treating in a coal forge. Many were given away as gifts to friends ,family and people serving in the military.
After many medical problems and no longer able to return to the security field Jason decided to make knives full time. In 2013 he officially started Zombie Killer Kutlery LLC.

Knives are made with basic tools all by hand at ZK2. For more precise heat treating and tempering we send our blades out to be heat treated by Peter's heat treating. Peter's is known as the best in the business for treating oil quenched steel. While there the knives undergo a cryogenic treatment to even out any stress in the steel. Peter's also does our new black oxide coating which we are very excited about. A great way to protect the steel and dull the shine of a blade without adding a synthetic coating over the steel.

ZK2 is built on a philosophy of personal responsibility for one's own safety. Jason was paid to protect others for almost 20 years. He worked many dangerous security jobs where violent physical encounters were the norm. This guided him toward more realistic training in the martial arts. He worked out sometimes twice daily refining his fighting skills. He also has many years training in firearms and tactics. Over the years he developed a training regiment based on performance and skill enhancement. He now trains others in the skills he acquired from his years of intense training.
No longer in the private security field, Jason builds tools to give everyone a fighting chance. Zombie Killer Kutlery strives to design and build cost effective handmade hardcore customs!
