<upd_detl>Show me any source, that shows the difference between an uchigatana/打刀, and a katana (as in the English term "katana". Not the Japanese かたな), or in any other way, credibly explains how or why uchigatana should be regarded as different, or separate, to katana.

All the information on uchigatana, are perfect descriptions of katana.
Nothing more, nothing less.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>"uchigatana" was perhaps a little clumsy/unhelpful, but just "katana (variety of Japanese long sword)" doesn't explain how 打刀 is 
different from 刀. In English, "katana" might indeed be the best translation, but let's try and specify what type of 刀 it is.</upd_detl>
