/k/ is saying that the katanah is the weakest sword there is, and that is complete bullshit, and I am sure they have never handled a real katanah in their life. they completely ignore the sword's honorable history, razor sharpness, folded steel for strength, and hours upon hours of painstaking craftsmanship by a master Japanese smith, and talk all kinds of shit about shitty european swords that are completely unbalanced sharp chunks of metal when compared to a fine Japanese katanah

>completely unbalanced

European swords had terrific balance, provided they were made by a reliable smith.

Also, cross-board trolling, nobody cares, etc.

This is the most sharp sword young whippa snappah

True. We view swords based on their combat effectiveness, not all their silly notions that do not contribute to their combat effectiveness. Folded steel, by the way, was a purification issue, because native Japanese iron ore sucked big time; folding became a detriment to material strength when done too much.

>razor sharpness
Is a point in the right direction, but there is only a point to which you can sharpen a blade with non-technical methods. After that, the sharpening implement has to be more durable than the blade it is sharpening.

I am doing fencing. Katana is a great thing for one-on-ones and any kind of fight agains more people(you wouldn't beat three with it though) It's damn hard to handle correctly. It's horrible party weapon.

I also can't imagine someone with Katana beating anyone with Zweihander, not someone with a shield. Kendo and the way Katana's slashes(you can never bend the direction of slash, very stupid) do not allow you to move much, not to mention jump around.

>>implying a weaker, thinner, brittle steel with impurities can compare to pure European metallurgy
>>implying so-called honor or hours of unnecessary craftsmanship for the looks influence sharp metal in guts

>implying that the sword user would actually be able to set his hand up in the precise fucking angle to actually cut bullet. Nevermind the fragments that would still be traveling at lethal speeds that would still hit him and most likely kill him faster since the bullet would be expanded. Stfu, guns win.

Hey, next time choose a magnum not a shitty pistol and see if your katanah can cut that.

Whats up with the cheesy dub for the Japanese guy?
Also, this would have the same effect on any other sword.
Hitting the sword on the flat side will shatter it 90% of the time.

A good mid-17th Century rapier is lighter, longer, more ergonomic and has a more protective guard than a katana of the same period, and also is double-edged with a sharper piercing, rather than slicing point. I should also think that as a lighter weapon and thus contains less metal means it can be produced more cheaply and in greater quantities, although you'd have to ask a swordsmith.

I was going to comment
"oh wow. I don't like firearms myself but even I'm not that disrespectful towards them."
but then I checked their website. I can't fully agree with their ideological BS but at least they have a reason behind their actions rather than just "acting like asses."
