What weapon does Negan famously wield?

Negan famously wields Lucille, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, in The Walking Dead.

He names the weapon after his late wife, Lucille, whose death during the early zombie outbreak profoundly shaped him. The bat becomes both a practical weapon and a symbol of Negan’s authority over the Saviors. He uses it to enforce obedience and terrorize rival survivor communities.

A common mix-up concerns the bat’s exact description: Lucille is not simply an ordinary baseball bat. In the television series and comics, it is wrapped in barbed wire, giving it its distinctive appearance. The weapon is also closely associated with two major deaths during Negan’s first major confrontation with Rick’s group: Abraham Ford and Glenn Rhee in the television adaptation.

The name “Lucille” refers to Negan’s wife, not to the bat’s manufacturer or a nickname for Negan himself. In later stories, the original bat is destroyed, but Lucille remains one of the franchise’s most recognizable objects.
