No, it's not actually. Even in the hands of an idiot, a katana is still a sword. The technique is
used to use it to it's full potential
And, even in the hands of an idiot and without the use of any technique, the katana still beat
the lonsword... Why are you even arguing?

So, you are saying that if i use special swing technique, my katana becomes unable to cut through
metal armor?
Shieeet, what a retarded weapon

They were both designed for different purposes as well as different enemies.
The Japanese had very little armor, resulting in most of their troops, the Ashigaru utilizing
leather as their armour, therefore the Katana, which by the way was more of a ceremonial weapon
than an actual one, was based around slashing.
On the other hand, the Broadsword and most western weapons had to contend with huge and effective
armour, therefore most of their weaponry reflected blunt force, rather than penetrating power or
slashing.

Answer: none, because now both utilities are useless.
Swords are not meant to be swung at other swords.

ok then, sense he swung it incorrectly and did a little more damage, then logically, if he does
it correctly it would do even more damage.
so stfu. katana still wins

also contrary to popular opinion the Longsword is not a baseball bat, there are techniques to
using it just as there are for the Katana and neither were actually used to pierce armor, rather
slicing or stabbing exposed flesh.

The katana is a rigid blade with a hardened edge. meant to be primarily a slashing and stabbing
weapon.
The longsword is meant to do those things as well as hack.
The big selling point of a longsword is that it can last longer, survive hitting metal armor
repeatedly.
The katana will break much more quickly, and was designed to cut wood/leather/human flesh, not
metal.
A ceramic blade will cut deeper and better than a steel one, because the edge can be honed more
sharply.
But the ceramic blade is going to break much more quickly.
Oh, and as a sidenote. The penetration they showed either sword's stab is meaningless. That kind
of armor would have a chain shirt and padding underneath it. So even that quarter/half inch of
penetration doesn't mean fuck all.
I prefer axes/hammers myself.

It was a garbage video that was wrong from the beginning in saying that these weapons were meant
to hit metal. The katana especially was meant for flesh/leather. Lacquered wood was something it
was more likely to hit if it hit armor. By the time samurai were regularly wearing metal armor
guns were more common.

Swings the Katana like a Katana should be swung using your wrists to a large degree to deliver
the impact. Then proceeds to swing the Longsword the same way while also using the outer edge of
the longsword when delivering the impact while not doing so with the Katana :facepalm:
Not even battle-ready armor, but a decorative one
Proceeds to hit the side of the armor with the Longsword while attacking the hollow center of the
armor with the Katana.
Yes, a Katana is better at cutting leather. But it is a known FACT that a Longsword is far more
superior when it comes to metal, yes a 'fact'.
One can not unintentionally make this many mistakes, it just doesn't seem legit. They must have
done this intentionally because the Katana is more popular and that's what people wanna see.

Christ. Not only is he swinging it around like a flailing retard child at a Renaissance Fair, but
he doesn't even know what those weapons are for in the first place. It'd be like wandering into a

Interestingly enough, Katana's were not designed to be used for over 1 or 2 kills. And usually
only to cut off the head. Because of the way the Shogun at the time hired their basic infantry. A
lot of the times, shogun would entice regular men, for example, Villagers, farmer, craftsmen,
what have you. And were sent into battle with a katana and if they could bring back the head of
an enemy, would get paid a good sum.
