A full suit of Uchigatana is not really advisable since their map bonuses aren't as great as those of Tantou and Wakizashi units. Even more, based on my experience the ones that were "downgraded" to Uchigatana status (Izuminokami, Ookurikara & Doutanuki) tend not to perform as well as their "pure Uchigatana" comrades due to their Tachi-grade speed (which are painfully slow without horses). If they can manage to actually attack, though, they are not actually bad.

I'd say swap out some of your slower swords with some Tantou, especially Ichigo as the Tachi-penalty in Ikedaya is rather annoying.
