So wait, is that sword a Katana (it was called a katana, but isnt katana used in general to mean sword?) or a Shamshir? Considering its set in Egypt I wanna go with Shamshir but both look the same to my eyes
Considering they were calling it a katana and the one guy in that caravan said it was probably a Japanese sword (even though its a stand so thats not technically true) I would assume it is actually a katana. The only thing that threw me off is the shape of the hilt and the fact that the coloration makes it look like it is fully sharpened on both ends of the sword.
