Japan is superior to European states since it defeated Mongols while they were at their prime, initiating the downfall of Mongol Empire. Katanas suck anyway.

Not really. Japan fought the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongol Empire was long dead

Al least they have interesting engravings.
katanas are folded over 1000 times minimum, making them so strong and sharp enough to cut through the hardest armour. but also light and fast enough to outmanouevre the opponents

70 years is not that long
And Mongol army that attacked Japan was almost as big as the army that razed Eastern Europe

Do you think they could cut through Brian Blessed in plate?
>>526129
Dunno, but they could cut through US battleships for sure
>>526129
well my name is Brian and I think I'm pretty badass so no

Katanas weren't built to cut through armor you gaijin faggot. They were built to cut through your opponent's soul and crush their honor.
>>526129
through the plate, yes. through brian blessed, no.
>>526129
They did cut through Shermans but again Shermans were piece of shit of a tank so perhaps good medieval plate armour would resist the power of superior nippon swords.

THANKS LAD

Didn't someone make a distinction between this in another thread? With actual practical katanas and more ceremonial one found in the Edo period( and still mostly made)?
