I have to say the swords, mostly because the violin is very OP, and probably against the rules in a few ways.

Some notes about the swords though:

A tanto is a style of katana-like blade where the characteristic feature is its length, namely its very short length, and the katana's curve is one of its definining features as well. "straight Tanto-style long katana" is an oxymoron twice over, I believe the term you're looking for is "Ninjato", the same type of blade that Adam uses.
