Dirk Strider is a fucking LIAR
dirk claims throughout the entirety of homestuck that he uses a katana, a traditional sword from the muromachi period, widely used by samurais used in feudal japan. the katana is characterised by its CURVED blade. It has a distinct curve. Dirk Strider, however, has a straight blade sword. What Dirk uses is called a ninjatō, a straight bladed sword that first came into existence in the mid 20th century. That’s right. DIRK USES A FAKE SWORD THAT PEOPLE MADE UP IN 1956 AND CALLS IT A KATANA BECAUSE HE’S TOO STUPID TO LOOK UP THE DIFFERENT SWORDS ON WIKIPEDIA.
