Katana
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Katanas are a group of weapons that occur in many Final Fantasy games. They are mainly used by the Samurai job class in games where that class appears. The most prominent Katana is the Masamune. Recurring katanas are: Kotetsu, Kikuichimonji, Asura, and the Murasame and Masamune, which are the two most powerful, though the Masamune is usually idolized as the strongest.
