Katana

Katana (刀) is a traditional Japanese sword.

Description
Katanas were introduced into the New World by the Eight Greed Kings around five hundred years ago. To this day, they are looked upon as a popular item sought out by many warriors. The only place they are forged and produced is located in the fallen capital of the Eight Greed King's empire, Eryuentiu.

Appearance
Their appearance is exactly the same as Earth's counterparts, with the standard long but thin blade and same standard hilt design.
