By that, it means that they need a spare, since the Katana's were so shit and broke very easily. It doesn't mean to dual wield them, since that is bad, because of three main reasons: one, it throws off your centre of balance (harder to retain sturdy stance and balance); two, striking with the weapon has the other one at bay, so it doesn't really help you in any way, other than to parry, but if you wanted to do that, you would have a shield, or at least a dagger so you can parry with more speed; three, holding a two-handed weapon with one hand makes it easy for it to get knocked out of the hand.
