damn, they take this shit seriously.

you know the best katana's has more then 32.000 layers

@Seniarth manswer did a thing about that

@Seniarth Actually that is old show trick done with axes first. It is no suprise that hard, cold and sharp steel cuts hot, soft, and blunt piece of lead. Any sword of desent quality can do that, from any part of the world.

did you know that the Japanese Katanas can cut bullets? (I mean shoot a bullet from a gun against the Japanese Katana and the sword will break the bullet) thats how strong the Japanese Katana is. I think there is a video up on youtube check it out

I believe that the Japanese Katana is the most beautiful sword out of all the other swords in this world....

not one like that

you can bye on e bay for £40 nice

So if i have to ask what something cost i cant afford it? So what does a pencil cost? ...So now i cant afford a pencil? lmao are you really that stupid?

from $1 to what ever the maker decides to sell it for.

If you have to ask you can't afford.

Samurai or nothing!!! Straight up...

so the japanese perfected the art of folding steel for strength, whilst the french perfected folding dough for flakey pastries.....hmmmm i think im more grateful to the french, although swords are nice, i really like pastries more

the real name is TAICHI not katana

iltv

oh i forgot, a video post website requires a masters in english literature

You need capitals

you need a life

Any metalurgist worth his salt will tell you the Japanese blades were infinitely superior.

you play too much fable

The twenty pounders are the only ones I have ever seen mentioned in books, and museums. However the internet says you're right about the weight.

@michielgrillet Show me a combat ready medieval blade that weighed 20 pounds that isn't over 7ft long and made of pig iron. They just do not exist. European blades are masterful blades built to a style favoring strength. The samurai had strength but the Katana is a slicing weapon meant for finesse. A traditional longsword should weigh between 2.5lbs to 4 lbs. Katanas should be the same. It comes down to the forging of the blade and thats where the Japanese took it to a different level. The

You seem to know little about both weapons, I have studied these in my forge class, the regular weight of a katana is 3 pounds, where the European longsword's weight varies, around 20pounds up to 40. Don't try to act all smart, especially when you have no point. Knights are nobles, they live to feast, fornicate and get powerful. Samurai are fighters who live to die in battle.

"Katana's are light and agile, with skill pretty much invincible. " European lonswords where in same weight class and were well balanced. "An amored knight would be slow and would depend on brute force to kill an enemy," Not true. Most knight where professional fighter who had good skills when ti come to fighting... they had skill not only "brute force". "katana's are pretty much perfect, while almost anyone could make a broadsword." lol, what anime did teach you this "fact"?
