Yep all player owned weapons got crapified. Incentive to test the smithing system. All of my 1.3 katanas became .3 katanas.

Best sabres I've found short of spending twelve hours on the tech tree that I think doesn't even have the neccessary smithing bench to build the really good stuff in yet is a 1.5 from the yellow soldier groups. They also have 1.1 toppers as well. Sergeant has chain shirt as a bonus. When you do the tree you can get up to 1.1 in the katana arc (didn't try sabres, research times are non-trivial at that level even with 95+ research skill). Still in the process of determining whether I glitched the required smithing bench for higher end stuff or it doesn't exist.

If your squad isn't too badarssed for a restart I'd highly recommend the Holy Sword start he added. Zero skills, zero money, red and yellow are at -100 faction BUT you get a sexy 2.1 extended katana. @40 skill I'm dropping 75 point hits on unarmored opponents. Thing hits like a plank but fast. Besides, with Red hostile its a great excuse to farm blackened chain off of their shopkeepers while you build faction. Had to take quite a few beatdowns as red isn't hostile with any towns but totally worth it imo. Getting friendly with bandits fast helps with survivability on those guys.

I've noticed on multiple playtestings that the katana you get is randomized as I have gotten both a 4 and 5 edge walker katana with very slightly different stats.

Edge Type 5 is sexy.
I'll have to look at the best Sabre damage exactly, but if memory serves correctly the damage is something like 2.6 cutting/0.17 blunt.

All I remember for certain is that the Edge Type 5 Straight Cleaver is 1.7 Cutting/1.6 Blunt, and the Fragment Axe is 3.2 Blunt/0.18 Cutting.

That Fragment axe can one-shot unarmored opponents, and cripple armored ones.
