CONT

Inspirés de l'imaginaire des films et jeux vidéo post-apocalyptiques, ces couteaux sont dotés de lames longues, incurvées, dentelées, trouées et parfois gravées de slogans menaçants, mesurant généralement plus de 20 cm. Avec leurs manches fluorescents ou dorés, leur aspect massif, les couteaux zombies sont devenus, comme les [cigarettes électroniques jetables], des objets de fascination chez certains adolescents et jeunes adultes.
