📋 About This Mod
(Special thanks to Author: InsanitySorrow and Converter: sa547 for all of their work. This mod is only possible because of them.)
Sorajak: Thank you for all of the downloads and endorsements. This has been my first project of this size, and it has been a joy to bring it to so many of you.
FURY OF THE BLADES: Custom version that includes composite hilt textures and a re-purposed version of the Wuuthrad effect from base Skyrim. When the Dragonborn carries a copy of "The Rise and Fall of the Blades" all Sorrow Katanas will deal 20% bonus damage to Dragons, High Elves, and Falmer. If the effect is too powerful for you, simply don't carry the book. Also includes guardless Tanto mesh.
Main File: The original Dai-Katana (Two-Handed) was created using the One-Handed mesh and data. I have now updated the mesh and data to more accurately represent an intimidating Two-Handed weapon. Examples: Increased overall weapon scale by 20%. Original Reach, Speed, Stagger, and Crit Damage were identical to One-Handed weapons. Increased Reach from 1 to 1. 2 (. 1 shorter than Skyrim Greatswords) Speed reduced from 1 to . 9 (same as Skyrim Greatswords). Stagger and Crit Damage now updated to Skyrim Greatswords. Realized Tantos were made with stagger and sound detection (not standard for daggers), so I removed both. They are now silent, cause no stagger, and speed was reduced from 1. 4 to 1. 3 (standard speed for daggers).
Additionally: Original damage value for Katanas was 15 (equal to dragonbone), while Dai-Katanas and Tantos were 18 and 6 respectively (equal to orcish). I brought all damage values (including crit) up to match dragonbone values.

Description:
=================
Adds a new Katana into the game, a Celtic Katana. The model and textures are all new, no retexturing here.
The Katana's come in 4 colours, Blue grip, Brown grip, Red Grip and Black grip. The leather wrap on the scabbard also has it's colour changed to match.
You can aquire the Katana's by crating them, they're setup as steel weapons, though they need more of each material, they're also a little strong than
the Blade's katana. Each one can be upgraded too.
Dai-Katana and Tanto versions of the Celtic katana are now available.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 504 endorsements and over 12k downloads, so you know it's been tested.
- The Fury of the Blades effect is a clever twist—carry the book for a damage boost or leave it behind for a balanced experience.
- The two-handed Dai-Katana actually feels like a greatsword now, with proper reach and speed, not just a scaled-up one-hander.
⚠️ Cons
- The mod hasn't been updated since May 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods that alter weapon stats.
- The Wuuthrad effect only works if you carry the book, which might be easy to miss or forget, making the bonus situational.
- If you're not a fan of the Celtic aesthetic or the specific katana design, this mod won't change your mind—it's a single weapon type.
For Skyrim players who want a visually distinct katana with a bit of lore-friendly flair. If you're a completionist who likes collecting unique weapons, this is a solid addition. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon pack or if you prefer realistic katana designs over fantasy ones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can preview the weapon in the mod's file tree to see the different grip colors before installing.
- To get the Fury of the Blades effect, make sure you have 'The Rise and Fall of the Blades' in your inventory—it's a book you can find or add via console commands.
- Since this mod changes weapon stats, it's best to load it after other weapon mods to avoid conflicts.
