More or less you are wrong, since the katana does have certain styles of fighting that some blades don't progress in. But part of using a sword is not only knowing the strengths but also knowing the weaknesses of the weapon. So to say that the katana only looks cool and isn't a tough sword you are wrong. A spear has it's flaws for combat but you give it to the right person it can be a severely strong weapon. It more so depends on the fighting style used by the person and how much time they spent in learning the quirks of their weapon and the strengths. Now as most people today yeah it may not be that tough of a weapon, but you get someone that trains in use and trains fully the katana is just as tough as any other weapon out there.

Some people think that katana is some kind of "super sword" It is not better than chinese Dao or suchlike. I did not mean that katana sucks. It looks better than it is.

Okay for the most part I can agree with that statement.

There's the other weapon altogether that was designed to destroy calvary by being long enough to slash out a horse's legs from a distance. Forget the name though.
On a random note... would riding an elephant be a good idea during a zombie invasion?

Would that be the Naginata, Foh Foh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginata
