Henry's Staff is an ornate staff originally used by Henry Sutton as his primary weapon. Following his death, Henry's girlfriend Lydia adopts his staff as her own weapon.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Having been trained in combat utilizing a staff by Morgan Jones, Henry adopts a sharpened staff as his own preferred fighting weapon and kills Gavin with it during the retaking of the Kingdom. Henry later loses his staff while chasing Jared, leaving it impaled through a walker he couldn't kill. Carol recovers the staff and rescues Henry, returning it to him.
Six years after the apparent death of Rick Grimes, Henry continues to utilize a staff as his weapon, but has over the years fashioned a more ornate black version rather than a simple wooden pole. While helping Daryl rescue Dog, Henry uses his staff to impale a walker and save Daryl's life. During a later fight with the Whisperers, Henry kills one by smashing him in the head with his staff after Dog brings the man to the ground. Due to his leg injury from the fight, Henry subsequently begins using his staff as a walking stick.
Following Henry's death, Lydia is shown to have taken Henry's staff for herself and added a nunchuck to one end. The new addition is, when not in use, the end of the staff. When it is in use, the end is yanked outwards, revealing the nunchuck chain. After being kicked out of the meeting house when a Whisperer mask is discovered, Lydia practices with the staff before talking to Negan Smith. When ambushed by Margo, Alfred and Gage, Lydia attempts to use the staff to defend herself, but is disarmed by Margo who hits her with it. At the end of the fight, Margo prepares to kill Lydia with her own staff, but Negan rescues Lydia, disarming Margo and throwing her into a wall, accidentally killing Margo in the process. While fleeing Carol into the woods, Lydia uses the staff to incapacitate Carol so that she can get away.
During the Whisperer attack on the Hilltop, Lydia uses the staff to kill a number of walkers, refusing to flee despite knowing that Alpha wants her. Injured in the attack, Lydia uses her staff as a walking stick, much like Henry did. However, when Negan captures her, Lydia is disarmed of the staff.
Carol later finds the staff and is holding it when Negan brings her the severed zombified head of Alpha, her son Henry's killer. Carol subsequently carries the staff with her as she takes off on her own, using it as a walking stick and to kill a walker that ambushes her. After returning to Alexandria, Carol returns the staff to Lydia. However, she doesn't carry or use it for the rest of the war with the Whisperers.
Lydia later brings her staff with her on a supply mission to Fort Connors. When the walkers in the building become active and attack, Lydia uses her staff to put several down before escaping.
When a herd breaches Alexandria during a bad storm, Lydia uses her staff to help defend the people taking refuge in Aaron's house, standing on a stair landing and stabbing numerous walkers at the bottom of the stairs alongside Rosita and Dianne. The three women successfully hold off the walkers until Rosita and Dianne send Lydia out of a window to go help Aaron while they continue to deal with the invading walkers by themselves.
Months later, Lydia takes her staff with her as she prepares to leave the Hilltop to go to the Commonwealth. On the road to Riverbend, Lydia uses her staff to put down a zombified Commonwealth soldier as Maggie and Elijah put down two others.
During a fight between Lydia and a variant walker, the walker grabs Lydia's staff as she swings it at it, and they grapple for the staff briefly. Lydia eventually manages to yank her staff free and escape.

The following is a list of victims killed with Henry and Lydia's staff:
- Gavin (Alive)
