Re: No shiny new swords?
Some fun facts on katanas: The iron that was used to make katanas in Japan was a rather poor quality compared to European iron hence why katanas are often referred to having "folded steel" because it was the process used to strengthen the blade and hopefully remove impurities. Now adays with modernized iron, folded steel is really on used to signify symbolic quality.
