Strand's Sword is a cutlass formerly belonging to George Hockley that was adopted by Victor Strand as one of his primary weapons after becoming the leader of Strand's Tower. It was later stolen from him by Russell, but Strand reclaimed his sword shortly before the Fall of PADRE.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
During the War of 1812, the sword belonged to George Hockley, a friend of Sam Houston's.
Post-Apocalypse[]
After Victor Strand takes over the Tower, he acquires the sword, either from Howard's already existing collection of artifacts or from what his Rangers recover from various places. The sword becomes one of Strand's primary weapons and is carried with him at most times or is left on display in the Tower when he has no need for it.
When Will is captured and brought to the Tower, he breaks free. Looking for a weapon, he finds and grabs the sword, only to be stopped by Strand at gunpoint who tells him of its history.
Strand carries the sword with him when he, Will and his Rangers go out looking for Alicia Clark. During a fight at the lighthouse with a number of reanimated cultists, Strand uses his sword alongside a hatchet to put down most of them while Will gets the rest.
During the fight to defeat Wes' forces and turn off the Tower's beacon, Strand carries his sword with him. While Alicia is trying to talk Wes down, Strand slowly unsheathes his sword, comes up from beside Wes and stabs him through the chest, killing him, much to Alicia's shock.
When the Tower is set on fire and destroyed, Strand bring his sword with him after Alicia convinces him to leave. Strand tosses it along with his other belongings into one of the rafts which he then boards.
Seven years later, Strand has kept the sword stashed in his hidden raft where it has become rusted from the weather, having abandoned his old weapon when Strand reinvented himself as Anton. When Strand's adopted son Klaus is abducted, he recovers his sword and saves Frank from a walker with it, surprising his husband as Frank was unaware that Strand owned such a weapon. Expecting a betrayal, Madison later asks if Strand is going to kill her with the sword, but Strand reminds Madison that he came to save her. During the confrontation that follows with Russell, Strand uses his sword to disarm the other man while he's distracted shooting a walker.
While fighting a herd through some fallen bookshelves in the Wymberley Jones De Renne Georgia Library, Strand loses his sword after it gets stuck in the chest of a walker. Russell takes the sword after shooting down the herd, knocks Strand out with it and later threatens Strand at sword point as they wait for Troy Otto to arrive. The sword remains in Russell's possession when Daniel Salazar, June and Sherry rescue the group with Russell still holding it during the standoff between the two groups and aims it at Madison when she tries to attack Troy.
Russell subsequently keeps the sword for himself and is shown carrying it while leading a massive herd to PADRE when Madison shows up in the SWAT van to gun part of it down and clear a path for the herd to be diverted.
After capturing Russell, Strand reclaims his sword and uses it while defending PADRE against the herd that Troy's Group unleashes upon it. The sword presumably remains in Strand's possession afterwards.
