The Berserker Blade outdamages the Uchigatana if your Dexterity is 40 and your Strength is at least 20. The damage difference doesn't really matter until you hit 40 Strength so you decide based off of moveset. I like the Berserker Blade's R2s better than the Uchigatana's but that's just me. Technically, the Washing Pole has more damage than any other katana except a Chaos Blade, a Blacksteel Katana on a high Dexterity, low Strength build (14 Strength for bare minimum one-handed), and a Berserker Blade on a 40/40 quality build. But the Washing Pole also breaks if you look at it wrong, so not good for PvE at least, even with Bracing Knuckle Ring.
