Since the art of swordfighting is lost, you'd possibly engineer an incredible "long knife" that a professional swordsman would regard as unsuitable for combat or of mediocre value.

Let's think about this in terms of the standard engineering design-V: if you have nobody available for validating the design, how could you produce a product that you know to be so technologically superior that it appears to be "magic"?
