Katana vs Broadsword...test cutting- National Geographic

The Katana I agree is overrated to the point of world idolization...it is easily the most expensive of antique weapons due to it's popularity. Whenever I heard of something Japanese made I always think three things: small, well made and expensive. Traditionally the Katana was such a time intensive project was because of their poor quality of ore. A good blade is a good blade ...we find them in many cultures.
