My personal opinion is that the katana is an irrelevant, purely aesthetic "handshake" between Bungie and Team Ninja for the Spartan in DOA. Period. There isn't (that I'm aware of) one reference of a katana in the Halo Universe, leave it that way. If you do feel the need to push for another melee weapon, why not use something that makes sense?
Bungie teased us almost 10 years ago now with a screenshot of the Chief wielding a machete. I know the whole "machete sucks vs armor/technology" debate. But honestly, who would have thought a hammer would've worked against Spartans & Covies before they tech'd it out?
IMO, the machete has it's place in the Universe. The katana....not so much.
