Despite it already being illegal to carry them or use them in violence?

Crap and badly thought out knee jerk law.

How do you define a 'Zombie' knife?

They ARE a joke but people collect them and hang them on their walls. Each to his own. My mate has a fetish for those absurd Klingon war blades. In its own way no different from collecting swords - which are designed to be a lot more practical for killing than these things - they're just a lot more attractive and classy.

Perhaps if weapons were made prettier they wouldn't be banned.

Trouble is there's no actual definition that can be applied - perforated blade = zombie knife, serrations = zombie knife, don't like the look of you today sonny = zombie knife

You're nicked...

Sorry, I don't seem to have made my point too well. What I was hoping people would take away from it was that they need not be banned because they are utterly useless. Fit ONLY to hang on the wall.
