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 the katana's 1d10 damage vs. small (as opposed to 1d8 for a long sword).

A katana will not turn into the Excalibur if you dip it into a fountain. Don't degrade your weapon.

Encyclopedia entry
