Cool, so different smithing techniques wouldn’t make much of a difference. It comes down to weight and thickness etc.

Well yes obviously in a fight the better trained soldier is more likely to win. My question was more aimed at whether the the smithing techniques used for a katana would result in a noticeable difference if using the same materials.

European swords outclass katanas due to steel quality but how would a katana made with modern high quality steel hold up?
