Why do people think a Katana is Great?
I know it could hack a limb off of an unarmoured opponent, but it’s useless against a heavily armoured foe, a stronger, thicker german sword, would do the job against an armoured foe, or a Mace or Warhammer, And Axes can Punch a hole through armour. The mideivel swords started out sharp, but became dull later in time because it’s more effective. So the katana is just primitive in design. is it just the Anime warping kids minds? it’s not a lightsaber, it’s just a sharp sword, that can Break easily.
The Katana, is not much lighter than most other swords, that is a common misconception, a Vikings sword is Lighting than a Katana…………………. and you give speed to much credit, the katana wielder would hit an armoured foe, and it would do nothing, then he’d be Crushed by whoever was in the armour. in armour you could Beat a samurai hand to hand. the sword is lame against armour, GREAT Against unarmoured, but as far as metal to metal, that thing is Trash.
Lighting=Lighter
If I might ad my own two cents…
The katana is a good weapon against the enemies it was created to combat. Over in Japan, the armored warriors were clad in at best chain mail, usually weaker materials than that. European weapons, such as longswords, claymore, maces and whatnot, was designed to fight agains opponents in full plate armor, and as such they have a much greater armor penetration than the katana. The katana simply didn’t need to be able to pierce plate armor, and it wasn’t designed to do that.
The katana’s curved edge also is effective in reducing recoil from striking armor, which made the person using it capable of getting more hits in less time than european swords, albeit with less armor penetration.
