9/10 Installed this and i got Yamato as Steel Sword and Rebellion as Silver Sword. Can be 10/10 if you could add the original scabbard for Yamato (i know i know it seems impossibile but you will find a way and i really support you!)
I've the exact same problem, my sword is invisible too, how did you managed to import it anyway and make it visible ? For the scabbard perhaps if you bind a already existing it might work (not sure at all, I never tried).
To give examples from this mod, I called the model yamato.fbx (it has to be in the FBX format, I used jato's Blender 2.8 patch), the diffuse texture yamato_d.tga (TGA format works best), the normal texture yamato_n.tga. Importing specular textures is pretty broken, so you set that value in the XML. I put them in the appropriate folders and cooked with W3Oven. Also, material names in Blender should match material names in the XML. That imports the sword, but there's a lot more to it than I can explain in one message.
materialtest is the name of the material in blender, I used the patch too, when I take a look at the w2mesh file I see only one CMaterialInstance and ingame my sword is invisible I have no idea what I've done wrong. Here is a thread where I explain everything if you don't mind helping me https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/convert-fbx-and-xml-into-w2mesh-issue.11029337/
Bruh, Samurai Katanas was uploaded by me but it isn't my mod. Lexar (God rest his pure soul) did it, and in his case, let bygones be bygones. Also, the other mod isn't from the uploader, it's by CaptTylor.
If Google Translate serves, I think you're asking why I uploaded this mod if it's faulty. It's not faulty, it does work but it could be better. That's what the description is meant to signify.

I found Katana mods here that manages to include scabbard. I'll ask to see how they were able to add in.
