Samuel's Katana

Samuel's Katana is a Japanese sword owned by Samuel Rezza. Given to him by his paternal grandfather when he was eighteen, it has been in the family for generations. It was later revealed his grandfather was a hunter, and passed it to their sons to protect their families. It's origin is currently unknown, but his grandfather did live in Japan for a time before World War II and is where he most likely obtained it. It is unique in its own way, the hilt being made of dark steel with black cloth covering it. The blade, while old has not tarnished. Samuel would normally use the katana when he was out enforcing for the Hathaway Coven. It is unknown how many people he has used it against, but it can be assumed Samuel used it to slay vampires and rogue supernaturals. It was later used often by Scott Aldridge when he and his friends would get into fights.

=== Darkness Descending ===
In the chapter The Reckoning, while the Rezza's were aiding the Pierce Pack in putting a stop to the vampire attacks on their pack, Samuel told Scott he had a katana in his trunk that would be useful in killing the vampires. Scott agreed with him, adding they are good for beheading people as a joke. 
In the chapter So You Say, Lily suggested her and Scott bring weapons with them when they were going to confront Isabel and Seana. When opening her father's safe, the katana was in there tucked away in its sheath for the past seven years. Scott decided to bring it with them, saying again they were good for beheading people. Lily was horrified at this statement, but Scott told her it was a joke between her father and him seven years ago. 
In the chapter Times Like This, Scott uses the sword to kill a vampire that was attacking Celesta. It was later seen in Lily's possession when she was going home. Her father was ballistic at seeing his precious katana out of the safe. Lily however told her father what happened and he was glad the katana still had some "use" to it, as it was very old. 
In Let's Get Lost, Lily mentions that Kenny would probably get a kick out of the sword, seeing that he and his friends dressed up with fake katanas for Halloween. Samuel later brought it when he and his daughter went to Zach's house to help Scott get over the werewolf venom quicker. Samuel brought it as an "extra" security measure, as he believed Scott might try and attack them. It was later taken by Lillian, and it wasn't seen again until the chapter Monsters and Men. Samuel gives the sword to Scott to protect his daughter, the two of them finally solidifying their bond as family.
