Actually, that's a myth. Japanese steel has traditionally been very poor quality, which is why they developed the methods of folding the steel over and over again. But the idea that Japanese swords are superior to any other blade is pretty much fiction, though I suppose Ishida could be making use of that "Katanas are awesome" trope.
