It says in the description that the blades are 'overpowered'. Is this true, or should it read "(but not overpowered)" rather than "(but now overpowered)"?
FYI - The alpha channels on the Normal Maps are all empty. They should contain a grayscale version of the texture, otherwise the entire weapon has a shiny white gloss/tint to it.
Nomyo, the black sword does not exist in the mod. I verified that the archive doesn't contain a blacked-out sword and asked the original author (Ryuujin) about it and he said he never made a black sword. Therefore the screenshot is showing swords from other mods or something the author did himself.
Also, Ryuujin is a student of the Japanese language and martial arts. He is strict about how Japanese swords are named and let me in on some information I wasn't aware of so I though I'd share them here:
Katana is the typical curved sword but can only be translated to "longsword" Wakizashi is the name of the shortsword. Odachi or Nodachi is a large katana. Dia-Katana means "Big Katana" but is an improper term used by Westerners. Masamune is an Odachi that in Japanese mythology is said to have magical power but is called such because Masamune was the name of the person who made the sword.

Just a humble player who uploaded it.
But if you want to spiff these textures up a notch, I recommend using Photoshop and the official NVidia dds plugin - works like a charm
