Katana vs Dual Edge, Katana is by far superior for CUTTING due to the curved blade, Dual Edges were better for PIERCING (some videos show cases where katanas pierce in a better way, but thats because they were using some cheap ornamental dual edges without blade reinforcements to stop it from bending, wich couldn't be done with katanas cauz it would make em break), however piercing trough an armor with any was very unprobable with bouth of those weapons, so in the end bouth ended up being pretty equal, but real experts will tell you that the best sword is still the fleuret, swift, souple, deadly ! as for material used, sorry but Katanas were nothing special, just because some people like to make their weapon look pretty doesn't mean the base materials were just plain old steal made from tempered iron and rubbed with animal horns to tie carbon to the iron
