Over the past years people in western countries have seen the Katana as a Japanese sword therefore calling it a Katana instead of just a sword. The word Katana itself though just means sword, if they would refer to the blade of the sword they would say "katana no ha [刀の刃]," which literally means "Blade of a sword".
