katanas are just masterwork bastard swords, anyway.

[Meph]

Just read your improved dog raw, please do note that now huskies can brred boxers and so on... maybe you should split them into different creatures.

A stone katana ? 

well honestly, it makes as much sense as a stone short sword.

No, stone short sword makes sense. It's like the mayan sword. Katana on the other hand...

That's the stone short sword (real):


or it could be like this:


Now imaging making this out of stone:


Yeah...

Even iron katanas were breaking VERY often. Stone katanas are not possible .

[medikohl]

well to be honest no mining race has katana's so they don't actually show up in the game.

[Naryar]

It's just how a katana is built is totally impossible to do with stone. Hell I would rather see a chitin, bone, nail, or even wooden katana (NOT a bokken though), rather than a stone katana.

Obsidian short swords are possible, because the handle and weapon is made of wood, only the cutting edges are obsidian.

Also, you want creature suggestions ?

Go. In DF terms, scorpions with no tail and tail stinger and poisonous pincers. Kinda like a tick with pincers, really.

The giant pseudoscorpion should be nice. Digestive enzyme venom should be necrosis... FUN for everyone !

how would I go about making chitin katanas?

No, that's just plain ridiculous, i was just using chitin as an example. Stick with iron and steel for katanas.

Hell as adamantine cannot be bent, we should have no adamantine katanas either.

well I was trying to figure out how to make chitin armor and maybe a few other items.
