That wasn't clear from Reflections in Transition... I actually expected him to be fighting with steel since you mentioned that he was a journyman and not just a novice like T'vek. I would expect that Corwin would be happy to make weapons for his siblings (enchanted or not - just because he can make magic weapons doesn't mean he has to) - he just hasn't been asked to yet.

And since Kate did mention that she might want to get a sword other than her zatoichi, I wouldn't be surprised if Corwin ended up making her one as a gift in the future... :)
