Well, considering I'm the mystery person, let me comment on the katana.
I like the concept. The handle bar needs a bit more work, I think there's enough room to see the actual rope pattern on it.
The blade needs a slight curve.
Note that I'm rather easy to please, so someone with more pixel-art experience could offer a better insight.
But like I said, I'm wearing my happy face right now.

Icons needs to have a transparant background. (You can do this with GIMP or Paint.net, both are free programs)

When you want to go for the look of a real katana you should keep in mind that katanas are always curved.

Realism can be a constraint. If it looks good, it looks good.
Pixel art usually calls for compromise.
Also hinting at things is mostly more powerful than actually portraying the thing directly.

This one doesn't look good. To be honest it looks cheap and crappy.

it took me littoraly 15m tops. Melkior had time to drive home from work and it was done. I can do better. but instead of insulting it. I would much have preferred ideas on how to better it.!!

well this topic of mine is very old I have yet to curve the blade and seems cr1 is almost screaming for it I decided to give it a little nudge work. If only the icon windows where player sprite size
ah well you have to deal with what little space you have
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
woops I will try and fix this...
Edit: fixed
and i think if i put 2's blade on 1's handle it would look perfect? any suggestions? and I mean by image names not the order there in up and down cause its backwards.

some comments for you:
・Not kitana, "katana"
・Tsuka (where you hold it) should be dark green. Most katanas is so I think.
・Ha (where its made of sliver) should be bender.
But I like this concept very much
This can be assassin's weapon.

I prefer the no-sheath one. Because when it is used, it doesn't need, doesn't it?
And I think it needs "Tsuka" something like this:
Where to put it is between "Tsuba" and blade.
If it is already there, please make it bigger.
