The katana weapons of TES universe are the invention of the people of Tsaesci of Akavir. Because the Dai-Katana has been called that, and not Nodachi/Ódachi that is what I also call them, it is a tradition. In Arena and Daggerfall, they came in all available materials, including mithril (which also has made it's last modern appearance in Oblivion). The katana type weapons in TES originate from the very first game, and have been present in every game since but only in their Akaviri basic form after Morrowind. *This mod was made possible by SSE NIF Optimizer by Ousnius* I personally used fallowing mods when taking the screenshots: (SE has good texture quality, but daedric and glass are good choices to replace) I highly recommend installing texture replacement mods or other HD texture packs. Quick notes, I made hardened ancient nord armor. And when I say gear, I mean both armor and weapons.

Nothing else, though I was thinking of adding frost damage and resistance, maybe if this mod gets enough downloads. NOTE!, all the models use whatever textures you are using for your regular steel, daedric, dragonbone, nordic, orcish, dwarven, elven, glass, stalhrim and/or steel weapons. Well, it lets you use the Skyforge to craft upgrades of the Nord Hero gear, resulting in something on the level of daedric gear. Tanto are 1:1 to regular daggers except with reduced weight.regular sword speed of 1.000 with -2 *base* damage and -10% to reach. regular great sword speed of 0.7000 with -1 to *base* damage. regular sword speed of 1.000 with -1 to *base* damage. You need the appropriate perks for each material found in the smithing skill tree. You can craft them from: Steel, Dwarven, Elven, Orcish, Nordic, Glass, Ebony, Stalhrim, Daedric and Dragonbone.
