It was Sharlto's coup de grace weapon. It popped up a couple of times. He actually had a slot in his exoskeleton to sheathe it.
But it was kind of awkward in it's execution in the movie, like many things. During one of the big fight scenes towards the end there is the big fight to see who gets to control the katana, the good guy or the bad guy. But it doesn't make a big impact. It's there because someone probably said wouldn't it be cool if he had a sword to go along with all of Sharlto's knives. But then it doesn't come across as all that cool. And the loss of it doesn't seem all that dramatic.
District 9 was so much better than this film.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
