Katana Blade Shard is a short broken piece of katana steel. It is a small, sharp offcut that still makes good knife stock.
At a forge it becomes a Small Knife, a Simple Metal Blade, a Kitchen Knife Blade or a Metal Spearhead. Without a forge, the Make Shiv recipe turns it into a Shiv.
Shards are left over when a Katana Blade or a katana is reforged into a shortsword blade. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Forge Small Knife recipe takes the shard and two Charcoal at a Primitive Forge or better. It needs Blacksmithing level 1. The Forge Simple Blade recipe takes one Charcoal and gives a Simple Metal Blade.
Advanced Forge work gets more from it. The Forge Kitchen Knife Blade recipe and the Forge Spear Head recipe both need Blacksmithing level 4 and three Charcoal. A ball peen hammer and pliers or tongs are needed and kept.
The Make Shiv recipe needs no station. It takes the shard, a whetstone, file or saw, and tape or a binding. It needs Maintenance level 1.
A Steel Bar Quarter fills the same slot in all of these recipes. A spare shard melts into one Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.
How to Get Katana Blade Shard
The Forge Shortsword Blade recipe returns a shard alongside the Shortsword Blade. It needs Blacksmithing level 7 at an Advanced Forge. The Forge Simple Shortsword Blade recipe also returns one, at level 6 on a Simple Forge or better. Both recipes must be learned first, and both take a Katana or Katana Blade.
