Katana
Weapon · WeaponMelee0★Melee blade with an edge keen enough to cut a target down cleanly in one stroke.
Katana is 19th of 79 melee weapons by attack, at 780 against the 2,400 of Laser Sword.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 10 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 51,020 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Katana
Katana is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Katana
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 780 to 1170, a 1.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Katana at 858 attack; step down and it is Metal Bat at 750. Weigh the jump against what the next tier costs you before committing the resources.
