Where can I buy a katana in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition?

I know I could buy on in Candlekeep, but I already left it and cannot return (the guard says I need to give him some book of 'great value' that I don't have).

It sucks having 3 proficiency in katanas and not having one to pew pew.

From memory, I think you can buy them (or at least, buy one) from a shop in Baldur's Gate itself. There's a Katana +1 at the bottom of the Cloakwood Mines.

EDIT: While I don't have the game installed any longer (or saves near the relevant locations) I can use to confirm, these two threads (here and here) seem to confirm my recollections.

Where can I get the Katana?
