With some experience with both weapons, I can tell you that the Katana is a much lighter and easier to wield weapon, and the idea of parrying with a long sword, against an opponent wielding a similar weapon, or any weapon for that matter, is best left to NWN's. I haven't really tried, but I carried one around in the Ren Fair a couple of years ago, and they get heavy. You could concievably carry the Katana around for days, and any weapon that can cut through silk by the weight of the silk alone, is a force to be reckoned with. Uh, in case no one got that, I'd say the Katana was the superior weapon, as for who'd win, couldn't begin to tell you. I've seen unarmed opponents win battles against much larger armed opponents. It is impossible to say.
