chances are if there was a zombie invasion, you wouldn't have to worry about power or such other infrastructure nuisances -- you should assume that the usual infrastructure will be either damaged or unreliable.

As far as weapons are concerned, I'd have a long blade for backup, but I'd still use a gun or a bare minimum tazer (with lots of extra cartridges). You'd be better off keeping the zombies a safe distance away. A man with a knife has a 10 meter effective range before a gun can go from holstered to fired.... so a zombie, that doesn't feel pain would be much more effective at infecting you within the short confines of a sword's range.

Better to shoot and run.

Just find a place with food, water, and an access point that can't be compromised. And if you're with a group of friends, remember

You don't have to run faster than the zombies, you only have to run faster than your friends.
