Generation
Tsurugi are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for and appear in bones. The Tsurugi of Muramasa will revert to a plain tsurugi if found in a bones file by a Samurai character.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Per commit 60c19568, two-handed weapons gain a 50% strength bonus when used in melee.Strategy
Though tsurugi do even more damage than ordinary two-handed swords, they are subject to the same disadvantages. Any role that is unrestricted in two-handed swords can also twoweapon, and there are weapon combinations that can do more damage than an ordinary tsurugi.

Encyclopedia entry
The tsurugi, also known as the long samurai sword, is an
extremely sharp, two-handed blade favored by the samurai.
It is made of hardened steel, and is manufactured using a
special process, causing it to never rust. The tsurugi is
rumored to be so sharp that it can occasionally cut
opponents in half!
