The Broken Katana Blade is the snapped steel blade of a katana. It is good steel for a smith.
The blade belongs to metalworking. At an Advanced Furnace it melts down with Smelt Steel From Medium Plus Steel Item into three Steel Chunk. Smelt Medium Plus Steel Item pours it into a crucible of liquid steel instead.
Research Craft on the blade teaches five forging recipes. They are Forge Simple Shortsword Blade, Forge Crude Sword Blade, Forge Shortsword Blade, Forge Sword Blade and Forge Straight Razor. The blade never turns up in loot. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Smelting is the main use. The blade counts as a medium plus steel item, which marks it as a good piece of steel for the furnace. Smelt Steel From Medium Plus Steel Item turns it into three Steel Chunk. Smelt Medium Plus Steel Item melts it into a Small Ceramic Crucible with Steel or a Large Ceramic Crucible with Steel. Both recipes need an Advanced Furnace.
Research is the other use. The five recipes it teaches cover the sword family, from a simple shortsword blade to a full sword blade. Forge Straight Razor adds a small blade for shaving. Reading the blade this way costs nothing, and the blade stays in the inventory for smelting later.

Notes
- Research Craft on the blade before smelting it, so the forging recipes are learned.
- An Advanced Furnace is needed for both smelting recipes.
- A spare blade is best kept for the furnace once its recipes are learned.
