From my modest accumulation of knives, it would be a SOG Tigershark. They just look awesome.
I might just club the perp with a baseball bat or whip out my SAK Soldier.
Cutlass, yeah, that would be my choice. You just never know when a psychopath might just want to make a run at you when you have 20"+ blade strapped to your belt. That is why they are crazy??

Ok, said it wasn't serious, but let's keep it in the "Now that's a knife" arena. We can have strangestest sword/polearm/spear thread later.

They had pilum as well. Wait, is pilum the neuter plural? Or is it pila? Must be pila. Habuit pila. No wait, habebant pila because it's imperfect past tense. Anyway, they did have long pointy sticks.

Sushi Knife?
There was a crazy story I heard in the news a few months back about someone who was attacked and killed by someone wielding some kind of sushi knife. They said that the knife is so sharp and dangerous that it only takes seconds to kill a person and they are illegal to even own unless you have some kind of Sushi chefs license. I'm not sure what the heck the thing was called.
Two inexpensive nasty looking Zombie killers I have seen are the USMC K-bar and the Cold Steel Peacekeeper. They both are in the $50-65 range. I don't really know knives, so If anyone can tell me which would make a better Zombie killer I'd be in your debt.

lecter's knife of choice is a spyderco civilian. in the book he specifically asks for one when shopping and cant get one. he settles for somthing else. look up the civilian, you might dig it.

How about this? It's more like a machete, but at 11" it fits within size requirements to be considered a Rambo knife. I have the 7" version, and it's big enough. They have it in a tanto point too.

Lol. I'm assuming this was a joke.WhiteMarshJohnny said:
I used to live in Japan and own 2-3 sushi knives I bought while there. They call them "yanagi" IIRC. Basically, these are traditional folded steel (laminated) blades with very high carbon content and differential tempering. The blade steel, geometry, and temper are designed to give you a very thin, mirror-polished edge. Think straight razor. It's fantastically sharp...but no more lethal than any other knife of similar size.
Sticking with just a couple of what I have in the den...
The obligatory kukri, of course. Also, a Katzbalger:
Not an endorsement of that company, per se - it's just one of the better pics and descriptions I found with a quick Google. That's about the same size as my Katzi at home. Mine, however, was made for me by a squire-brother and came to me almost sharp enough to shave with.

He asked for a Civilian, but after that, it didn't get much mention in the book. (He did get one, however. They're two twenty regular, but Buck was willing to let it go for one ninety with the case. . .) His Harpies (One he was forced to abandon in Italy, and one he purchased from Buck at the gun show,) saw action on several occasions. Newspaper clipping, femoral artery/face/chest/belly slashing. . . The last mention of the Harpy (IIRC) was when Carlos used it to slice off Clarice's tire valve after kidnapping Lector.
In the movie, (crap) he used a Merlin for the balcony scene, which pissed me off mightily.
And once again, it's official. I have no life
(By the way, the last use of my Harpy was removing the living room carpet. Great little knife.)
Yup, crazy story. No liscences to own any knife in the U.S.

NICE!!
This picture is from the maker, but I own the knives.
Dervish Knives "Yataghan" variant with a matching Hunter. 16" blade on the Yataghan, 7" on the Hunter. Both from blued 1/4" 5160, with red G10 bolsters and black G10 handles.
This one is a custom from Ted Frizzell/Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works that I had rehandled by Dervish. 12" blade of parkerized 5160 with green linen micarta handles. The top clip is sharpened for about 7". It is flanked by a Busse HOFSH and Reeve Shadow I, to give a sense of the scale.
