| description        = An uncommon katana modification sacrificing defence by removing the guard.  It's more a psychological advantage than a physical one, knowing subconsciously that attack is your best defence promotes a more aggressive combat style.  Gang bosses and Jonin tend to use them to equip their underlings because it makes trouble-makers on both sides more reluctant.

'''Guardless Katanas '''have a large bonus to the [[Melee Attack]] skill, while also having a hefty penalty to the [[Melee Defence]] skill. These two combined will cause a character to attack more often in comparison to normal. Though they may end up being defeated more easily if outnumbered due to the animations Katanas use.

The [[Meitou]] version of this weapon can be found on [[General Jang]] in [[Ashland Dome III]].

This weapon has inventory dimensions of '''1x7'''. It can be equipped in both the primary and secondary weapon slots.
