Is the sun blade a MW that has been enchanted Or is it made from some wierd metal?

The DMG description does not mention any weird material, so the base weapon should be a masterwork bastard sword.

could a sunblade be a katana

I don't see why not. A katana is the oriental equivalent of the bastard sword.

or a great axe?

No, that would be a sun axe.

is it enchantable like a Keen sunblade?

Sure, why not? The DMG says that the special weapons are usually made "by the book," but usually does not mean always.

My opinion on the subject (and this extends to more than just being able to make Sunblade-esque axes, maces or spears) is that if an enchantment can be placed on object A, it can also be placed on object B. Barring any blatant logical issues (vorpal nunchucks come to mind). I see no reason that a sword cannot be enchented to grant a Strength bonus to its wielder, or a ring that bestows Keen on the wearer's bladed weapons.

You just need to be careful about how much power you are handing out.

As long as it goes handaxe-great axe or something similar.

How about a Light pick-GB pick?
