Trivia
The Skana was the very first Melee weapon available to new players prior to Update 14.0 (2014-07-18).
This sword slightly resembles a katana, a widely-known sword archetype used by samurai during the feudal age of Japan.
The Skana more accurately resembles the Russian Shashka, mirroring the curve of the blade and lack of crossguard.
