The eastern-style Katanas are comparable to Swords, but boast higher Critical Rates, making them generally superior weapons. Only negative is that they’re slightly harder to come by. As usual, equip the Two-Handed or Dual Wield ability to really make them hurt!
Note: All katanas have an Aim stat of 90 and a Critical stat of 15.
