The one used to attack Sanosuke was a simple wooden sword. It looks like a metal one either because of the art style or the production method; there are certain kinds of bokken painted to look like metal. Or, he uses some kind of Iaito, blunt katanas. If I recall, Saito also commented on that incident that 'Wooden swords are good, but that's it. Japanese swords really suits me best', at least according to the translated version on this country I'm staying.

On the contrary, modern methods really are the best; I certainly wouldn't go out barefoot since sandals have been invented, for example. It's just that, most people these days doesn't need swords, and thus, 'modern methods' was used to make decorative swords. As a result, people tends to think that modern methods are inferior since it doesn't produce real swords, which is utter balderdash. Then they decided to think traditional methods are the best, then refer to movie smithing like Conan the Barbarian and Lord of the Rings...which aren't the best examples to use. Using modern methods and tools to make blades are still the best because it's still a growing front. Just watch these guys.

And don't you forget about Revengeance; while that isn't really a "Snake's story", it still has the zaniness of typical Metal Gear. Not to mention, the plot is much lighter, and pretty much is the greatest way to relax; by slicing up enemy soldiers'...clothes, en masse. And look at this. Now be angry. Then get angrier. After that, destroy your computer, smartphone, and burn the nearest gambling district in your domain.
