    Well they're supposed to be 'daggers' aren't they generally? Not dedicated 'katana' users like Samurai. I'm not surprised that only a few resemble katanas. I'm not sure why you would expect a majority of ninja weapons to be that particular style.

    There's a weird thematic conflict just because Ninjas are as Doman/Hingan as Samurai, but their base class is pirates with knives. Their weapons should mainly be wakizashis or tantos, but a lot are some really weird and overly ornate things that look like fish hooks.

    There's a good deal of paladin swords too that make me wonder what the designer was thinking too, including the hydatos and pyros swords.

    They don't have to specifically be Katanas. Though I would like to see more of those. But how other people have mentioned, just more traditional "Ninja" weapons. Like Wakizashi, Tanto, Kunai, Sais, heck, even those chain sickle things which I can't remember. Generally, I just want more weapon designs that compliment the job thats supposed to wield them.
