Katana

The Katana is a weapon that can be found in the bank in Winrock.

Overview A katana (刀 or かたな or カタナ) (Katana itself is a loanword that has been adopted from Portuguese language as catana which means "large knife" or machete) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Developed later than the tachi, it was used by samurai in feudal Japan and worn with the edge facing upward. Since the Muromachi period, many old tachi were cut from the root and shortened, and the blade at the root was crushed and converted into katana.

While often portrayed as the main weapon of a samurai, the truth is that the Katana was more used in dire situations as the samurai used spears, polearms and even firearms in conflict, in modern times, the katana is more of a heirloom piece than a weapon of war.

Trivia
 * As stated before, it's unusual that a katana is used for constant war due to their use as a last ditch weapon which can be seen as defeating the purpose of a Katana."- The closet Japanese sword that resembles a Katana that was more designed for war is the Guntō (軍刀 meaning military sword), Guntōs are known to be used by officers and share the curved single edged blade that Katanas possesse.""- If it is a Guntō then the closest the in-game weapon is the Type-85 variant as it's a 2 handed variant with a 60cm blade."
