The long sword that the samurai carried was made of high-carbon steel, and took months to have made. They were hand made specially for each samurai, taking great care to make a very high quality sword. It was so sharp that it could easily cut a man in two, even through their armor.
Thanks for that little tidbit. In studying samurai and training in kenjutsu I can tell you that cutting through armor was rare - metal armor at least. This was the least desireable approach because, even as hard as daito steel was, metal on metal damages live blades immensely. Each sword was forged with thousands of folds, sharpening and strengthening the blade, making it less likely to shatter on impact with another blade, but any direct hit on the 'ha', or cutting edge of the blade, was still likely to lattice that edge with nicks and dents. The key in kenjutsu (combat style samurai swordsmanship) is to find gaps that allow for one hit kills. Against a fully armored opponent, depending on the circumstance, a thrusting attack would be used on a gap in the armor. None of this is to say that no samurai ever slaughtered an advesary right through his metal armor, it just wasn't normal par for the course.
