I think all of us are pretty well equipped for such an apocalypse. Cept me I don't have a sharp sword yet blunt ones can still kill and i'm sure someone could sharpen it for me. That actually would make for a cool movie, a group of medieval reenactors against a whole hoard of zombies and using medieval weapons and tactics they can hold out and defend during a siege until the zombies are wiped out. Be a horror movie spoof of Ironclad or something.

Sir Ulrich, you'd think someone would've done that already, right?  Hmm...I was an extra in a zombie flick a few years back...wonder if the director would be interested in doing it.  We'd have to be the stars of course...I'm not one for lending out my gear (unless it is to one of you knights).

That would be awesome! The closest I've seen is Season of the Witch.

I've only seen that movie once...I was more than a little disappointed; I much preferred 'Black Death' to that...similarly themed movies.

Sir Ulrich- You can usually find some small shop, or even most hardware stores will sharpen just about anything. I've had a few blades come in blunt that I took to my local ACE hardware and they have a nice edge on them now.
If you want to hand sharpen them, or hone them a bit after the hardware store, I use DMT stones, which are awesome-
