  Only thing that bothers me is the way character wears scabbard. Blade should be pointing up, like real samurai used to carry them.

  Can you ascend a Fire Uchigatana to a Chaos Blade? I accidentally did that before finding out that the Fire Uchigatana doesn't give any boosts to it's damage from stats and I need to know if I wasted so much titanite...

  "Demon's Souls version: Has the same appearance and move set..."
  
  This isn't true. In Demon's, the 1H R1s are horizontal swings. The 2H R1 has a slower startup and uses more stamina. It's much more versatile in Demon's because of those horizontal, spammy swings. The 2H moveset is for slow hits that combo into push->R1 and hit like a truck.
