This is just an ordinary tsuba-less sword, with a stippled digital-pattern grip and scabbard - the only advantage being that this weapon is completely inconspicuous. (QM: mechanically for the purpose of the game, whilst the sword remains sheathed NPCs assume you are just carrying a fashionable crutch or walking stick). It is unlikely to be effective against armoured or robotic / exoskeleton equipped opponents, unless a particular weakness or exposed unarmoured vulnerability is found. When drawn from concealment or ambush in a single decisive diagonal slash it is likely to herald the instant end of an unsuspecting target, but once the element of surprise is forfeited, it is probably better to turn and run.
