The claymore is a brute force weapon for a reason. It was intended to crush plate armor, which requires a lot of physical strength. Instead of comparing it against the katana, you should be comparing it against the Kanabo..

Better weapons to compare against the katana would be the traditional longswords, shortswords, rapiers, and foils.
