The rule is that you can backstab with any hand-to-hand weapon a single class thief may be proficient in. This includes quarterstaves and katanas. There are a couple of individual exceptions, though; Valygar cannot backstab with his own family katana and a mage/thief cannot backstab with the Staff of the Magi.
