A tsurugi is a special weapon that is not normally generated. It exists to serve as the base item for the Tsurugi of Muramasa, though it is also possible to wish for an ordinary one. When unidentified, a tsurugi appears as a long samurai sword.

Unlike the curved katana, a tsurugi is actually a straight double-edged sword.

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!
