Katana

The Katana is a Bladed Melee Weapon in.

Overview
The katana is manufactured by Arasaka and is available in three different tiers, with each their own base appearance.

The 2020 variant of the katana is a first attempt at creating a modern katana with modern materials.

By 2077 it is improved upon by making it out of almost a single mold, appearing to be some kind of polymer. This allowed Arasaka to create a wide palette of different color schemes for the weapon.

It would appear that the military and security corporations have shown interest in a more advanced variant, resulting in a military variant of the katana that allowed the blade to be equipped with exotic modifications, such as Thermal, Chemical and Electrical damage.
