There are katanas with a higher enchantment than CF, but whether they are *better* all round, I would question.
There *is* this one in my game:
Skyblade +5
This is the fabled katana of Memnoch, the legendary Bhaalspawn also known as Gorion's Ward. It is usually dual-wielded by Memnoch with its twin blade, Celestial Wrath. It was the weapon that Memnoch used to banish the tanar'ri prince Demogorgon from the Prime Material Plane in the Year of The Gauntlet.
The full powers of the blade are unknown except to Memnoch himself. What is known is that this blade is a vorpal weapon of the highest order, and only those pure of heart can use it. When it decapitates an opponent, the victim's life energies are converted into pure energy, which then flares, striking all enemies nearby.
