An '''ornate katana''' is a [[vanity item]] offered as an occasional in-game benefit from [[Membership#Pre-pay_cards|RuneScape Game Cards]]. This item used to be available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia as a bonus for redeeming a membership card during the promotional period. The item would have been automatically placed in the player's bank ---- and if they didn't have enough space, [[Diango]] would give it to the player. If it is lost, another may be reclaimed from Diango. The katana can be kept after the subscription has ended, but it is a members-only item.

This is the second item which can only be obtained by paying real world money e.g. dollars and pounds (after the [[flagstaff of festivities]]). The ornate katana was available for players in the United Kingdom who purchased a 90-day membership card between [[8 July|8<sup>th</sup>]] and [[31 July|31<sup>st</sup> of July]] 2011. According to the Update FAQ, the katana will also be used for other promotions, and was able to obtained a second time for purchasing a 30 day subscription through Game's [https://gamewallet.game.co.uk/ GAMEwallet] scheme. It was also available for a third time after buying and redeeming either the premium or deluxe packs from MCM Expo London 2012.

Its stats are identical to an [[iron 2h sword]], though it has the same attack styles as a longsword. This katana, the [[auspicious katana]], [[golden Katana]], [[Eastern outfit]] and [[Cheongsam and Changshan outfit|Cheongsam/Changsam outfits]] are currently the only known items to have come from the [[Eastern Lands]].

==Notes==
*Currently, the animation for an ornate katana's stab attack is simply a different slash attack.
*Game cards purchased from [[Wikipedia:GameStop|GameStop]] before the promotion event began also contained katana as long as the cards were activated during the event.
*Due to the way a player stands whilst wielding an ornate katana, the player's cape (if worn), goes through their left foot. This glitch has yet to be fixed.
*Currently, there have only been four time periods in which an ornate katana was obtainable.
*The ornate katana is one of only three katanas in the game, the other two being the auspicious and golden katana.
