Need make, model & guage of shotgun.
being that your savage/stevens shotgun was made between 1933-1945,I would have a gunsmith check your shotgun to make sure it is safe to use and at that time question him on use of steel shot through your shotgun.
The katana would make a good display piece, but there is not much else you can use it for, unless you want to become a samurai. On the other hand a shotgun could be used for sporting (clay pigeon, target shooting), hunting or even defensive purposes. If you want a good display piece- Katana. If you want something you can use- shotgun.
