I heard a guy with a katana once cut Hitler in half, but the sword was so sharp he didn't die until 1946.
You're in luck! Elves already get free proficiency with a 1d6 finesse weapon. It's called a shortsword, and it's perfect for dex characters. This leaves the longsword as a tool of the stronger-than-average elves.
It's kind of a running joke online that the katana is an almost mythic weapon barely short of the lighsaber in terms of desirability and sheer awesomeness.
Yes, the shortsword is a 1d6 finesse weapon, but it is a piercing weapon and just not good looking enough. Its too short! .

Anyway, this thread has gone off the deep end.
I still say it makes no sense to give the elf proficiency with longswords rather than scimitars.
I blame Chrono Trigger, but seriously make a Cortosis Weave Katana and bye bye Jedis lol.
I heard a Katana is the only thing capable of cutting Chuck Norris' hair.
I remember playing a sci-fi RPG many years back and one guy's PC wielded what I think was a mono-filament katana, or something like that? Basically, could cut through just about anything
