Just in case you need to kill some Zombies in close combat you can pick up one of these:

The KZ Zombie Pen-Etrator tactical pen, fitted with our unique "Grab-Cap" changes the entire dynamics of deploying a tactical defense pen. The grab-cap protrudes from any place the pen is mounted for a quick draw for writing or other use.
The lanyard hole is also a nice added feature for those that would like to wear the pen around their neck. Supplied with a replaceable Fisher Space Pen cartridge which virtually writes anywhere at any angle.
Personally I have an issue getting this close to Zombies.. but last ditch effort weapon…
The pen might be mightier than the sword, but in hand to hand contact, I agree with Michone.
