Straight Solus Katana Reskin

Description
Replaces sprites for the Solus Katana (and its upgraded variant) with ones that feature straight blades.
I made this mod because the pixelated curved blade looked weird to me.

Client-side and has no impact on gameplay. Safe to remove at any time.

Straight katana's are historically accurate, if memory serves me well they are named "Tachi's" and unlike their two other brothers this one is meant to be a katana specifically meant for stabbing, sure you COULD slash with it, but not exactly the best option of the three.

One of them us supposed to be a "jack of all trades - perfect in nothing" alternative, good in every scenario but not perfect in any of them, mainly for the units that are just as often faced with armored as unarmored opposing forces. How they did it was to slightly curve the blade and make the end just a bit straighter than the curve in the blade.

And the other one, the traditional weabo was a curved blade that was ONLY used for opposing forces wearing no armor. It is also the most traditional variant.

ANYWAY that's why you often see samurai (or any unit) with multiple blades because all of them were very situational.

The only thing I really don't like about Solus in vanilla is that the hand guard gets bigger once you've upgraded it. Maybe I should make a mod about that...

I'm personally not a big fan of katanas, so thanks for making it look a bit more appealing to me

I'M late too but:
It is true that swords the excel in cutting have curved blades
@Tnamrod is half right, they are curved to excel in cutting but it is chinese(according to google)
@Lesbian Supreme I am not a nerd because I googled all the stuff



lol

Prove me wrong then bud, if your just going to say I'm wrong with ZERO proof then it's honestly unbelievable, the curving happens due to the materials inside the fluid they quench the blade with, they then expanded upon this when they found the blades had a slight curvature, so bud if you can find your source for me being incorrect post it.
