>>136130721
I'm not going to sit here and say which is stronger because I don't actually know, but of course the one that is braced and mounted with more support is going to be the one that doesn't bend. If you reversed the swords, I'm sure the same thing would happen. The swinging sword will bend.
>>136131456Yep
>>136131562
Neither sword is supposed to be used like that.
It's like judging the quality of a handgun by whether or not you can open beer bottles with it.
Sure, beer is nice, and being able to open them without a dedicated device is nice too. But guns are made to shoot people with. That is what they should be judged for.
Swords are slashing weapons. Not hacking weapons.
>>136131656That guy is edgelord
>>136131562
Katanas bend because they aren't made of spring steel like most later medieval european swords; it makes them more rigid and better for cutting, but more fragile and prone to bending or cracking.

Here is the thing about the Japanese and steelmaking:
The Japanese iron deposits are a rarity. Historically, the Japanese acquired through foreign trade, and when that was not possible, raiding. So, even though they had the means of proto-iron productions (pig iron), they were sorely lacking in the iron ore to produce it. For fucks sake, the derived a good chunk of their iron from sand which naturally contained high amounts of iron.
As such, it was unfeasible for the Japanese to refine beyond pig iron, and the pig iron they made (玉鋼), was so inconsistent that it was prone to a bitterness uncommon in European Iron/Steel production.
So yeah, they did have to have advanced methods of folding the metal on swords numerous times and being ridiculously precise in the swordsmanship, or else the blade was liable to split in half like in >>136130721 .
Many of Japan's very specific and demanding customs come from the fact that the island is lacking in natural resources. Until the 19th century, it was common for the population to fluctuate, with episodes of mass starvation and infantcide as a result of isolated towns and a simple lack of local food in a bad harvest.
>>136134473
*I meant to say they historically got a decent chunk of metal through trade, at least in comparison to other states.

Not at all. That sword in >>136130721 is probably made with good steel.
The katana was made to compensate for shitty and scarce steel/pig iron. Its good for that niche, but once you are outside of that niche, it is an inferior design in general.
However, the European sword in the gif, if it was made with native Japanese pig iron, might have also, or have been the only one to snap in the scenario.
>>136132050
I had seen this before and knew it would think I'd say carrot, so I came up with a contingency plan to say cabbage

>>136135551
I mean, for a long time, a huge chunk of Iron steelwork occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa, if you can believe it. This was in part because the Ivory Coast and the river valleys were and are ridiculously rich in Iron. The problem was that the weapons were more valuable as rarities to Europeans, since the value on iron was worth much less to African swordsmiths, who were much more able to make a replacement for a poorly-made sword.
In most areas of Europe, where Iron was not easily found near the surface, you had to make finer weapons to help compensate for the scarcity, and the inherently high price of metal from Africa.

You do know even if it were to be the same steel, katana would still bend.
It is not about the steel but the design and the impact of the sword.
The longsword is perfectly still there meaning it will reflect the force of the impact better than a clash. Also katana is not made to clash with another sword especially something heavier like that.
Even the best quality Katana would bend in a situation like this

>Basic magic trick
It's more a party gimmick. If you ever actually see a real magician / mentalist performing, they often times like to say as part of their act that they use psychology and the weakness of the human mind to do their trick (which usually involves some kind of prediction), but as this thread has shown, while this strategy has a decent success rate (70 - 80%?), it is not 100%, which is what you need for an actual magic trick.
How would the best sword possible with current technology be made today?

A katana falls in love with a longsword.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the sword's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls him, and is overjoyed to find out that he has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the blade, he only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the tempered steel he called is not the same sharp weapon he fell in love with. In fact, he doesn't exist in this universe at all. He is the longsword's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the samurai sword's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of his crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the tang of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of STEEL.

But, the next day, when Danny recounts the previous day's confessions to Katie, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After looking through her social media profiles, he finds out the Katie he texted is not the same Katie he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't even exist in the school. She is Kate's long-lost sister, who fell in love with Danny's long-lost brother at their rival school, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

MC loves the feMC. FeMC loves the MC.
The day the two of them decide to confess to each other, they mysteriously find each other's cell phone numbers saved into their phone's contacts list. After some hesitation, a mutual confession occurs after school through phone. Tears of happiness are shed, vows are sworn, and the two decide to meet at the front gates the next day.
But, the next day, MC is rejected by the feMC, who claims she never talked to him before. Strangely enough, the feMC is shown to be going through the same thing, being rejected by MC who treats her like a stranger.MC and feMC actually inhabit two different universes, and their cell phones are connect them. After eventually reaching this conclusion, the two of them make a promise. They will tell each their likes and hates, their daily schedule, everything about themselves, even their deepest secrets, to help each other in their crusade for love. The name of the anime will be Keit-ai!/Cel-love!, in classical punny tradition.

Yes, everyone knows that tomatoes are fruits, but as pointed out in this thread even it is a vegetable as well, since the word vegetable is a culinary and not botanical term.

It's not like he always used a bokken, even the one he brought out against Sasaki was a bigass oar fashioned into the general shape, created just for that duel. As far as records show, he actually did go for regular longswords quite often.
