If that weapon was forged for him, then he can forge that weapon again. I find it hard to believe that with all that power, insight and those Dojutsu, Sasuke would have trouble creating a powerful sword. If he witnessed the creation of the sword, then via the Sharingan he could simply copy the process. We saw that Nagato was able to make futuristic weaponry with the Rinnegan, and we've seen both Madara and Sasuke improvise and develop Jutsu on the spot with the Rinnegan.

Even if it was forged it was by some real god-tier character which makes it near invincible. Orochimaru's Kusanagi could not pierce through a 4-tails Kyubi cloak, so it's evidently not invincible. Sasuke can also be considered a god-tier character now.

Someone must've forged Kusanagi and Totsuki and Yata. Such things do not appear naturally. Yet we've seen that the Sage could even forge the Nine Tailed Beasts from a parent spirit. So really, why is it so hard to believe that someone like Sasuke could forge his own weapon and imbue it with unnatural sharpness? It's hardly the most insane power in the Narutoverse.

Elveonora wrote: Also someone crafted Samehada somehow, so it's within the possibility that magically imbued weapons can be made by ordinary individuals who know how. Samehada could conceivably be a naturally occurring being that was modified/mutated into a sword form. But we also have the Executioner's blade, which regenerates itself, and that isn't traced back to any specific or unique shinobi with specific or unique powers.

EDIT: Quite frankly, i think stuff like Orochimaru's Kusanagi being able to levitate and extend was more a technique by Orochimaru than a true power of the sword. After all, orochimaru summoned many copies of it with his snakes, making me believe that a strong connection to it's user is a more probable Kusanagi power than said extension/etc properties. In sasuke's case it seems unnaturally sharp and perfect for channeling lightning through.
