Half-Zatoichi

The Half-Zatoichi is a weapon used by the Demoman and Soldier in the 2007 video game Team Fortress 2. It is a katana that rewards the user for fighting honorably.

Appearance
The Half-Zatoichi is a samurai's katana with a circular guard, and brown wrapping around the grip.

Powers and Abilities
The Half-Zatoichi has long reach. If used in a battle against another Half-Zatoichi wielder, it can one-hit kill. Killing an enemy with the Half-Zatoichi will cause the blade to become bloodied and the player to gain 50% of their max health. However, sheathing the Half-Zatoichi without killing another player will deduct 50 health. If the player is below 50 health points, the weapon can not be holstered until the player gets a kill or they get more health. It is unable to deal critical hits randomly.

Trivia

 * Zatoichi is a fictional blind swordsman who appears in many Japanese films. The term "Half-Zatoichi" is a reference to the Demoman having only one eye, and the Soldier having his helmet over his eyes as opposed to being completely blind.
 * The weapon attribute is a reference to the legend of Muramasa, a famous Japanese swordsmith, who is said to have forged swords that, once drawn, could not be sheathed again until the blade had drawn blood.
