Just make a zweihander, it looks way cooler

If I remember right he is trying to make a Sword like the one she brought, like she asked. It was very similar to a Katana, well like a mix between Katana and a Saber, so he went with that.
Man Sabers take me back, I did Fencing in my youth more than two decades ago which also included Sabers. Man I was so terrible at it

Just make a zweihander, it looks way cooler

Look forward to future chapters and future family member.

For all the cheats and God house he had built, why doesn't he have a blast furnace? Several steps could have been skipped entirely if he had one.

This effect is seen in modern katanas, a high carbon steel or even a spring steel katana is way, way, way more durable than a traditionally made katana, and retains its edge better, and is almost certainly cheaper, too. If you can make the thing out of a single lump of metal, it will have far fewer points of failure.

To be fair, modern steel is vastly superior to anything at all that was made in the past, no matter the place or techniques. There's just no contest.

Katana is indeed sharp but it is not as durable as the Knight sword.

Katana cannot slice steel after all.

For all the cheats and God house he had built, why doesn't he have a blast furnace? Several steps could have been skipped entirely if he had one.

His cheats only seem to affect the weapons he works with, everything else he needs to build by hand like everyone else. Honestly, he doesn't need more advanced tools if he could get away with making steel weapons by molding, it's already insane that they didn't just shatter like glass. It really drives me mad when an author can't be bothered to even research the topic he's going to write about... Do they think it's okay just because it's fiction?

Atleast they got the katana basically right, go figure

Spoiler

the other "sword making process" makes me cringe still
( molds seriously? )

So many adorable expressions from the catgirl recently
and behold, dark elf has now become daughter, the fool was doomed from the start

Closed mold swords are perfectly serviceable blades when made right. There's really nothing wrong with them at all. They're more of a thing with bronze than with iron, but it's still possible with iron. It's just going to be heavier than a fully forged blade. They're good for mass-producing blades since it's quicker to make than forging it from scratch.

The thing you're thinking of is open-face mold swords, which is only a thing in fantasy (see LoTR and Avatar: TLA, etc.). If you tried that in real life, all you'd end up with is a useless mess.
