Can i two hand finesse a katana?
I mean two hands on a single katana while still using dex to hit.

Nope. You can't two hand a katana at all, anymore. It's considered a small weapon, now.
Sounds like a prime candidate for -twohand, though. Maybe suggest it.

Re: Can i two hand finesse a katana?
It's like that for a mechanical reason:
Bastard sword:
Medium weapon, harder to disarm, duel-wielding debuff is larger, can't be finessed, can be two-handed
Katana:
Small weapon, easier to disarm, duel-wielding debuff is small, can be finessed, can't be two-handed
It roughly evens it out balance-wise, but I personally don't think that giving -twohand feature to the katana would make it that stronger.

Two handed weapons can't be finessed anyways, so even if you could two hand them you wouldn't be able to finesse them.

I guess it's hardcoded eh?
