Mod «Nihonto» for Project Zomboid

• Customization: 9 Tsuka color variants and dyeable Replica Scabbards
• Authentic Saya: 15 historically accurate Urushi-lacquered and natural wood Shirasaya variants
• Sharpness System: Condition loss may reduce sharpness instead; higher Long Blade and Maintenance skills improve condition protection
