Interesting that you specify pure metals in that case, as katanas were made up of very weak and impure metals as a rule. It's why they had to be folded so many times and why they were honestly quite crappy. If a Masamune sword was made from pure metals then it couldn't be an exact replica. No sword could. Metal purity and quality contributes a lot to the making of a weapon. An expert could easily pick out a fake.
