Masamune Story (you'll have to scroll down or search with CTRL+F)
[q=given link]Masamune was a sword maker...in fact, if you have enough money, you could possibly buy a Masamune, the same way you could buy a Stradivarius violin. The Masamune of legend is said to have contended with Muramasa, another sword maker. They both made a sword, Masamune and Muramasa, and they were both excelent blades. They were put to a test: the blades were stood in a stream...leaves floating on the river's surface all flocked to the Muramasa and were cut in half by it, while leaves all floated around the Masamune. It is for that reason that the Masamune was called the holy sword, because while it could do violence, its power was in avoiding it, while Muramasa attracted violence like a magnet[/q]
These people seem to know what they're talking about. So, yeah...
