Althoigh this sword\katana discourse is all known at that point, I can't help myself but adding rapier at the western side to spice things up.

Would rapier\katana comparison work better?

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less "normal warfare" scenarios.

To be fair it is sharp enough to cut through atoms and space time destroying the fabric of reality allowing you to turn back time to the Big Bang and reshape the universe in your image.
