Just saw a photo of that katana made of space rock and I’m curious to know if it’s a better weapon than those made of metal. Also, what is the ideal Earth element that is best suited for swords? Thank you.

Any sword made from metal you know the quality and purity of is going to superior to one made from a random hunk of metal that fell from the sky.
Meteoric iron was valuable in the bronze age because it was the only source as refining iron from ores hadn’t been invented yet. By the time people were making steel swords and katana they had reliable access to better iron than what you’d find in most meteorites.
