Katanas are exotic, elegant weapons from eastern Samarkand. In Albion, they are typically associated with assassins, and other fighters that prefer to deal death in a quick, silent, and graceful manner. It should be noted that the katanas in Fable are much shorter and thicker than the ones in Fable II, actually being shorter than the basic longsword. Also, the katanas in Fable do more damage than longswords, while they are less powerful than longswords in Fable II.
