What stats do you need to use the Uchigatana ds1?

It's called scaling because it scales off your attack stat (Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence/Faith). More of that stat, more points of damage. Even though the Uchigatana requires 14 strength and 14 dexterity it's best variant Normal+15 (In my opinion) has an A in dexterity with nothing in strength.
