Since I had no idea what "katana" meant I thought I would
give the definition for any other Vorts who are equally
orientally challenged. ;-)

A slightly curved sword, with its convex edge sharpened,
used since the Ashikaga period (1333-1474). It was one
of the weapons used by the Bushi class . . .
I do not know about Ashikaga period Japanese, but in modern Japanese it just means "sword." Any kind, as far as I know.
