The Ruined Akaviri Katana is a one-handed weapon in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Characteristics
Has the same appearance as the Akaviri Katana, but the weapon itself has numerous chips on the blade, tsuba (guard), and the habaki (blade collar and scabbard wedge), the tsuka (hilt) has become rusted and tarnished. Accordingly, the Ruined Akaviri Katana deals less damage compared to its regular counterpart, and is valued as much less.
Location
Wielded by the Undead Akaviri Soldiers in Pale Pass Fort during the quest Lifting the Vale.
