The '''katana''' is a medium-length sword with a deadly sharp edge and finely honed balance. It is a unique hybrid weapon that has natural heavy [[critical weighting]] and can be switched between [[Two-handed Weapons|two-handed]] and [[Edged Weapons|one-handed]] use. Only two-handed weapon [[skill]] is required to use a katana in both hands. However, to use a katana effectively with one hand requires both two-handed and edged weapon skills (see the [[GRIP (verb)]] for switching from two-handed to one-handed use). When the katana is used one-handed, any item in the off-hand will cause a loss of 10 to the user's [[Attack Strength|attack strength]] (AS). There is no AS penalty if the off-hand is empty. |

The katana is a medium-length sword with a deadly sharp edge and finely honed balance. It is a unique hybrid weapon that has natural heavy critical weighting and can be switched between two-handed and one-handed use. Only two-handed weapon skill is required to use a katana in both hands. However, to use a katana effectively with one hand requires both two-handed and edged weapon skills (see the GRIP (verb) for switching from two-handed to one-handed use). When the katana is used one-handed, any item in the off-hand will cause a loss of 10 to the user's attack strength (AS). There is no AS penalty if the off-hand is empty.
