Axe v. hand forged Katana?

[pyremind]

I'm comparing these two weapons. Axe is Reach1, Damage 6... Katana is Reach1, Damage 5.... the Katana costs more, and that's all the information they give me.

So that sucks. Why does the katana cost more? Designer whim?

I think the katana and the axe has a hidden stat difference. More AP damage vrs more bleed chance, or some-such.

Not 100% sure, though. Been quite a while since I played around with the melee weapons.

The axe doesn't do AP damage, does it?

I don't think the MKVI's axe did. Now, it might be a different axe.

Yeah the Katana has a chance for AP damage on crits while the axe has none. That's on the card so that's my bad.
