Reply respectfully disagree with that last sentence. I have and have seen blades that easily equal anything made in the similar time period, from any group. I also have a blade that from everything I have examined about is equal to many Japanese blades, minus the Nihonto type polish, as the Moro's did it different. The steel has the color qualities of Tamahagane.
