A katana does d10/d12 damage against small/large monsters, with a +1 bonus to hit. When unidentified, it appears as a samurai sword; samurai start with one.
The only differences between katanas and long swords are the +1 bonus to hit and a katana does 1d10 damage vs. small (as opposed to 1d8 for a long sword). Because the katana is the strongest non-artifact weapon to use the long sword weapon skill, it is a common choice for an off-hand weapon when twoweaponing.
A katana will not turn into the Excalibur if you dip in into a fountain. Don't corrode your weapon.
