For the people saying a katana was better quality, that is saying that a lords weapon is better than a commoners. A knight was a noble and would have his sword commisioned by a highly skilled blacksmith, who would also fold the metal. The difference was that a katana was folded more times to try spread the higher quality metals better due to Japan's lacking of higher quality metals while western areas had better quality in general. If we compare average to average, give the samuri a bo and the knight a dirk.
