The katana was a real piece of work back in those days. The longswords were mass-produced and nowhere near as sharp as a katana. It took much longer to create a good katana than crafting a longsword. While swords were often used maces and morningstars were a favored weapon against heavier armor due to the crush factor.

#4 I thought the same. They try to slash like trying to hit with the katana instead of a proper slashing motion. And they thrust with the katana horizontally instead it being vertical.

#4 Ruining it how? What do you think swords are used for? Displaying on shelves? Did you watch the video?

A high quality katana could have won. but it is not about the equipment, it is about the man behid it, an how to use it. A white guy with a Katyana (making uhm and oof sounds) looks a bit weird. (I would look weird holding a katana)

You got to see the video to not get the wrong idea here at 7:19
"I got a lot more penetration"
"Yes sir, we did"
"And we went a good half inch in"
