You said the sword is of better make, what makes you say this unless specifically said in the show. A common mistake is that japanese swords are made superior to other swords. While yes, they did spend more time making their swords than other countries, the reason they did that is because tamahagane is an inferior steel because it has too much carbon. In fact tamahagane is the same thing as pig iron. So please give me proof it's of better make.
