I worked on a site where two brothers were always going at it. One chased the other and landed a blow on his back with one of these. He ran into a phone booth, where his brother proceeded to beat the shit out of the phone booth with the hammer.

More important than any weapon would be shoulder-to-toe leather and face/neck protection.  You only have to worry about biting and scratching but the zombie movie folks so rarely have any sort of zombie armor.  I guess it makes for a boring zombie movie if you can't be turned by a tiny nibble during a big dust up with the biters.

I'd choose aluminum bats for more range and durability. Still quick and easy to swing. No stupid nails or barbed wire attachment that's going to catch or snag into something and get you killed.

There's a woodworking shop in a neighboring city that used to sell those; beautiful hammers but I never could justify one.  I've heard they've become collectors items.

My friend built a monster of a bumper one time (he's a welder)

Hit a deer with it and it didn't do a damn thing to the front of the truck, but it swung it around so hard it caved in the side of the truck, dented the pillar and broke the windshield.

He might have been better off just letting the thing get wadded up into the radiator as far as repairs go.

This thread inspired me to finish this mace thing.

I found this part on my property years ago when I was cleaning up scrap and thought this is too cool to toss.  This summer I sandblasted and rattle canned it.  Tonight I wrapped it in paracord.  It's about 15.5" long and weighs 1lb 9.9 oz.

I feel that it still needs a lanyard though.

Pretty much anything that comes up on a search for "tire thumper" or "fish bat."

ETA it's legal to carry a tire thumper or fish bat in California, but not a billy club.

It's also legal to carry a long-handled leather coin purse, but not a sap.

It's also perfectly legal to carry a sheathed machete or sword.
