Isn't the regular katana 9 damage? It wouldn't make sense to decrease the damage, especially if you pay more EC for an item.
I didn't make it with that in mind, in particular. It's one of my first, so I wasn't sure about scale. 
The hand guard, the brown handle and upper peice, and red cloth string. |
So why does it have to cost more and be better? I think the original looks better, and well, is the original, therefore, should be better and cost more.
It could be a cheaper, watered down version of the original
