From the anime, this is the Special Forces sword. This type of sword that has an eject-able blade that can be replaced in an instant if it becomes stuck in a Titan. It has a high carbon steel blade that is quenched to an iridescent black sheen. While it has a slightly sharp edge to it, you could probably cut with it but not worry about slicing your leather sheath up on accident. The real art of this piece lies in the handle and guard. No other sword has this unique handle with a movable hand brake lever. The lever is spring loaded and has a smooth operation to it so when you release it, it springs back to position. The entire handle is all aluminum with a fine black and silver powder coated finish on it. At the pommel is a nylon cord tassel used to link with the Gear in the anime.
