No problem.
Compels solve everything!

I seem to be late to the party, but here goes nothing.

Master's Bladework [-1]
You gain a +1 bonus on all rolls with Weapons to make a maneuver.

Boring. I suggest doubling the bonus and adding some kind of limitation.

Samurai Warrior [-1]
You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls made with the traditional weapons of a Samurai (Tanto, Wakazashi, Katana, No-Dachi).

Fine by me.

Follow-through Strike [-1]
Once per scene after you take out an opponent with a weapon attack, you may spend a fate point to immediately make a weapon attack with the same weapon against another opponent in the same zone.

I actually think this could work as written, since a Fate Point is roughly equal to a taggable Aspect which is roughly equal to a turn spent maneuvering. Action-economy-alterers tend to be broken, but this one is limited enough that it could work.

That being said, the overflow suggestion is probably better.

Something Riposte-like could work too, come to think of it.

Mind if I add these to the list?

Feel free, although I haven't gotten a chance to revise Master's Bladework or Follow-Through yet. That will likely come later today.
Morgan would have done it in 15 books.

And here are the edited stunts:
Master's Bladework [-1]
When you use a bladed weapon in conjunction with the Weapons skill to place an aspect on yourself or enemy related to your sword work gain a +2 bonus.

Follow-Through Cut [-1]
When you take an enemy out using a weapon attack, you may use any overflow shifts as an additional weapon attack against another enemy in the same zone.

Follow Through Strike is like Cleave for DFRPG without the botch chance.  I like that one a lot now that you're going with the overflow suggestions.

Master's Bladework looks fine to me.  I tend to find straight boni boring in stunts but you can't argue with math.
