Currently, I feel both are amazing additions. Very useful in their own right. The AK is not overpowered by any means in the hands of anyone less than a level 5 commando (in which case, it's power is equivalent to other level 5's with their weapons of choice, roughly speaking).
The katana is an amazing addition. Incredibly fast, very powerful, and with those two mixed together, along with it's weight, It's a virtual must have, if you can fit it in.
Ok, so now with the problems.
The weapons in themselves are perfect, but the effect they have on the rest of the arsenal is somewhat telling. At least, in the case of the katana.
I actually found that both AK and bullpup have their uses, AK being great for heavier beasties, and bullpup good as ever for popping off heads of weaker zeds. The problem, as I said, is the katana, imo.
The machete, questionable before in it's usefulness, is now virtually pointless. Imo, price in itself is not enough of a distinguishing factor, as even the cheapest gun, has it's own unique and useful properties (LaR).
The machete is now, for all intensive purposes, completely and absolutely useless in the face of the katana. Why spend money on a machete, when you could be saving for a katana?
The second problem, is the chainsaw and katana. The katana doesn't slow you down when it's out, hits about as hard, and pretty damn quick to boot. With their price being the same (for anyone but a zerker) and having a faster run speed, the chainsaw is once again eclipsed by the katana.
Is the katana too good? Not necessarily. I simply think that the machete and chainsaw need to be looked at in order to increase their usefulness.
