The strength of the japanese sword comes from the technique the warrior is using not from brute force. It doesn't seem to me that you have a lot of knowledge of the kenjutsu techniques and that would explain the poor results of the Katana

[ThegnThrand]

@33orion77 I am part of the Bujinkan you can check out our new video Deadliest Warrior : Thrand's Spartan Vs. Ninja / Samurai :P

[silasbui187]

nope that handle is way to short man

[ThegnThrand]

@silasbui187 I have acquired a very nice Musashi katana for the Wrap Up video of Spartan Vs. Ninja / Samurai , You will love the handle :P

[silasbui187]

maybe if you bought a REAL katana you would have been able to cut that thing in half

[ThegnThrand]

@silasbui187 on an Oryx neck I doubt it the bones are bigger and thicker than a bull. Light but that is a real Katana by the way :P

[BloodOfAltair]

Fake katana. Do it with a real katana

@MrBuster128 not true, any sword requires correct technique in order to maxamise its lethality, the longsword/broadsword has the advantage in mass and bludgeoning force as well as its combined ablility to slash, hack or stab. but the katana is lighter and allows for a faster swing, plus it has the advantages of a curved blade(which has better cutting properties generaly speaking)

[imagifyer]

@SonOfTheMorrigan this is both correct and incorrect, being a dark ages society the vikings used plain iron to manufacture their weapons and armour. the samurai on the other hand were around for a lot longer and their typical weapon (the katan/tachii)

was made of steel, which has generally more desirable qualities in a weapon. furthermore samurai armour was not just "silk and possibly bamboo armour" but was actually iron or steel plates sewn or rivited to a mounting(which could be bamboo/wood)

[SonOfTheMorrigan]

The thing that most people fail to realize is that Katanas were made to cut through flesh, silk, and possibly bamboo armor, tightly bound together by metal rings and rivets. It could not cut through ringmail, or chainmail. It was proven that none of the weapons that the Samurai brought to the fight in DW could pierce Viking armor. I am in no way saying the longsword is a superior weapon. I'm just saying that there is a very slim chance a samurai could beat a raged out Viking.

a real katana can cut someones leg off like a hot knife through butter

[vinillanut]

the viking swords heavyier right? thats why i thing its going through bone better momentium.

i respect samurais but the always seem to desrespect everyother culture saying they have no tecnique just becouse its not there technique

[33orion77]

@MrBuster128 I woud make the comparison with the karateka breaking planks bare hands, you need training but you achieve more power. Samurai were trained very young so it was convenient for them. and have a look of some video with Isao Machii

[MrBuster128]

@33orion77 If that is the case then the other sword is much better because it was successful without the need of training.

[HaNsWiDjAjA]

I think it make perfect sense that hacking would be more effective against bone (or any other rigid material; armor) than slicing, anybody can try it at home with a kitchen knife. Hence the superiority of the longsword to the katana against rigid materials....

Now I guess you can also pure on hack with the katana like a baseball bat, but that wouldn't be proper kendo technique.
