Uchigatana is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A katana of unknown origin. Crafted with a peculiar yet refined technique.
The finely-sharpened blade of a katana slices with unmistakable smoothness, but should be wielded with caution, as its delicate constitution means it's easily worn.
Acquired From
- Sold by Steady Hand McDuff for 5000 souls once the Dull Ember is acquired. Limit of 1 per playthrough.
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with regular Titanite to +10
- Since only one Uchigatana is available in the first playthrough, consider farming the Blacksteel Katana from the Alonne Knights in Iron Keep or the Berserker Blade from the dark spirit in Belfry Sol if trying to dual wield Katanas.

Two things that you need to look at. Base damage 230 when upgrade to+10 and A dex scaling

Better than blacksteel if you ask me, faster R2s that can still rollcatch and aren't telegraphed as much as the charge

Why is damage measured at 40 str and 40 dex? It's almost purely a dex weapon and most builds that use it will have, at most, just enough strength to powerstance

Can you use a bonfire ascetic to get him to sell it again or do I need to beat the game first

Excellent weapon on low stamina build. It has two strikes that come up very fast one after the other and a pause after that.

Great katana, only problem is the low poise damage. Low poise damage is normal in katanas, you can use the stone ring to increase poise damage.

Who tf is using on a quality build, E str scaling, just use a 40 dex build for more accurate and relevant numbers
Pretty sure you can get it without Dull Ember.
