Haha you just cant produce that kind of quality from 'junk' Crowe. They were often double edged too and would have given the skilled Aryan swordsman an advantage in one on one combat over the asian with a single edged jap sword.well that and the white man's superior battle tactics, of course.īut the ironsand steel with the swordmaking methods the japs have used for the past 1000 years has produced some of the finest examples of edged weapons ever made by man according to the 'experts'. The swords europeans used as weapons of war were generally larger and heavier than japanese katanas and wakizashi. Armored cavalry would have rolled them over, and our infantry were better equipped as well. If there was ever a fight between Europeans and Japs with 12th or 13th century respective equipment, the japs would have gotten their ass handed to them. I suppose they did the best they could with what they had, they weren't dumb. They had to put a ton of folds into the blades to get something usable. Europeans produced better quality swords with less effort, partly because we had better iron. The japs had junk quality iron to work with, which was like an iron sand, and it was a lengthy process to turn it into sword. The most notable usages for them were for honor duels. A katana was a symbol of status mostly, because they were quite expensive to make. Katanas are often romanticized about, but the truth is, they rarely saw real battle. Those are real swords for real men, not swords designed for people of puny, lithe stature like jap shit katanas. A German Zweihänder is kinda like a Claymore, but a little bigger, and it'll do that too. Of course, you'd have to be an expert with the weapon to do that. Cleave them into a chunk of torso with one arm attached. You can cut someone in half with a Claymore, I'm talking through the clavicle diagonally down through the ribs on the opposite side.
