They're the second best for durability (the best is diamond) but there only the third for attack strength.
"Battle ready" is a term to specifically mean swords that are sharp enough to actually kill, it also means durable enough to realistically withstand battle use. This should be compared with "display only" swords which are fragile and often quite dull edged as well. Another comparison would be "re-enactment" or "martial arts" swords which are very durable like their battle ready equivalents, but are intentionally blunt so as to make them suitable for combat training and practical demonstration purposes. The most common usage of such terms would be for marketing in order to differentiate between swords purely intended for decoration all the way up to swords which are a modern version of the real thing.
