>cutlass
>best sword
u wot m8
Katanas are pro at dismembering people but shit at everything else, that's what they were kinda meant for though. Real combat against armored opponents was usually done with polearms.
Also that NIHON FOLDED 1000 TIMES STRONK is bullshit, it was folded so often because Japanese steel was shit.
>>333307690
>produced via mold
>>333308973
That's why you don't strike at metal armor with a sword. You use another weapon to drop an armored opponent and then jab your shitty sword into the eye slits of their armor.
>>333309163
Cutlass is lightweight and still powerful. I like longswords too but 1v1 cutlass would win easy.
You have ten seconds to name a more efficient weapon than a machete.
>>333308640
scimitars, shamshirs, kılıjs, sabres, tulwars(curved swords in general) are probably the best cuttign sword you can find
maybe falcions too but they had a diffrent purpose
rapiers were the best unarmored duel wapons that were shit in actual battle

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself saw a former friend piss away his money commissioning a knock-off katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and had to sit through his awful attempts at practicing with it for almost 2 years now. He can't even cut through watermelons with the fucking thing.
Japanese smiths spend two weeks at best working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to make up for the fact they made it out of scavenged trash scrap metal.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as marshmellows and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can probably scrape off the ground afterwards. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash so long as he was already brought 90% of the way there by a superior claymore.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too disgusted with the dirty child-rapists that were the "disciplined Samurai" and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first in their barracks because even back then they knew these were genuine autists.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the dumbest shit that the world has ever seen, and thus, require realistic stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d2 Damage
20-20 x1 Crit
+2 to DEX due to being hollow aluminum foil basically
-4 to DEX as you immediately gain two weight classes' worth of fat on your jowls and gut
-5 to CHA from the instantaneous neckbeard that sprouts upon equipping, and the horribly tacky cosplay accessories
Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?
>eurocuck still jealous of glorious nippon folded swords "b-but t-they had poor steel"
enjoy your molds LOL
>>333309617
How the fuck is dragon ball related? Theres a reason people didnt use longswords in 18th century. Cutlasses were literally the most modern swords before guns became the norm.
>>333309881
Curved swords had their uses, especially as cavalry swords.
>mfw japanese people praising their cocksucking subhuman ancestry of single sided swords made of sand
>>333309881
Nu uh the curve in the blade made it so the sword would hit first and faster . Dummy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDkoj932YFo
>>333309435
false comparion
first of all cutlasses were top heavy cuttign beasts, and you could use them with a shield so they are already better than longswords just because of this, if both are unarmored
but long swords have a bigger reach obviously and in armored you can halfsword much more effectively
btw weight isnt much of an issue, a longsword probablyw eights like 2kg max and a cutlass 1.5 kg max, they are all pretty light...
>katana
>exotic
literally a shitty two-handed cutlass
>>333307486
But the Katana, with its single edge, is not a sword. It's a really long knife at best. Same way a machete is not a short sword.
>>333309962

Curved swords are the most widely used and produced swords in human history. They literally out-phased straight swords wherever they were introduced.
Do you think melee combat will ever be as prominent as back before the invention of firearms?
For example, in Dawn Of War, you have jet pack troops that jump to the enemy and fight with swords, so that they can't use their guns.
>>333309962
That's it. I'm sick of all this "Fighters-only Monkey Grip feat" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Monks deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself bought a genuine monk in Tibet for 24 goats (that's about $3) and have been practicing with him for almost 2 years now. I can even break slabs of solid steel with his simple technique.
Tibetan monks spend years working on a single finger and exercise it up to a million times to produce the finest hands known to mankind.
Tibetan hands are thrice as strong as European hands and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a knight's gauntlet can cut through, a monk's hands can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a monk could easily decapitate a knight wearing full plate with a half-hearted uppercut.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Tibet? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined monks and their fists of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted unarmed monks first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Fists are simply the best weapon that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for monk fists:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon) 1d12 Damage 19-20 x4 Crit +2 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon) 2d10 Damage 17-20 x4 Crit +5 to hit and damage Counts as Masterwork
Now that seems a lot more representative of the rip-and-tearing power of fists in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Monk fists need to do more damage, see my new stat block.

katana isnt some magical weapon, its a piece of sharpened metal, so yes u can halfsword it, just hold it in the middle and the handle so u can easly control the point and trust into an opening, chances are slim, but it is much better than just hitting on an armor and bending your sword and dying

>>333310340
>>333309578

I never said anything about hitting an armoured person with a katana.
But i doubt many martial schools i japan practioned halfsword, but rather proposed thrusting with your sword.
Thinking wrestling and pulling a dagger would be the better option desu.
>>333310598
Not really, no. Even with aerial infantry swooping down at you, you'd be generally more successful just shooting them point-blank than trying to clash weapons with them.
Our only real hope are integrated melee/ranged weapons, things like a staff with a disruptive power field enveloping the top that could be used to increase its striking force or be shot from afar in the form of energy bolts.

>>333310408
I've been here since like 2006 and I've never read that shit
>>333311321
It's nothing personnel, a katana just isn't good for stabbing and is naturally inferior to a dagger.
>>333308067
Nah, it makes it stronger. But that's besides the point, since western swords were also "folded many times".
>>333308563
>>333308908
>>333309185
Bronze swords were sometimes produced via mold. But yeah, no one did that with steels words since that would only produce trash fit for selling for $5 in Walmart.

>>333309751
A machete is a tool of justice, m80
>>333311321

I'm calling bullshit. Get out of here newfag.
>>333311837
Takes more effort to repeatedly stab a small depth than it is to stab a long sword in and simply cut up/out destroying insides.
>>333311321
Sometimes you just gotta do things for the sake of the game and balance even if it don't make no sense. Otherwise everyone would just use spears or something and loads of weapons would be totally useless.
>>333311878
I'm talking about shitty countries, like Spain, Romania, the Ottoman Empire, Japan, and France. They historically used molds.
>>333308067
No, it does make the sword slightly curved due to the folding, but if done correctly it's not-too-bad method to eliminate impurities by burning them. You do need to make a special kind of iron for it to be done effectively, but the reason antique japanese swords tended to suck was their smeltering system, the folding and everything is fine in itself.
The sharp edge of a katana is sharp because of the quenching process, it has nothing to do with folding.
>>333307486
I feel that, honestly. I sorta get why it's exotic, but I feel like that should be reserved for more unconventional weapons like Urumi or Flails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWvsHorqldM

>>333312391
That's fair, actually. I put it up there because it's somewhat unconventional to use. I feel like katars weren't that common, but they're also pretty straightforward. You could just stick them under a fist-fighting category and be done with it.

The katana did. He even complains about his stance on the ice, even though he used the same stance with the katana.

mold made swords are too brittle, none of the countries you listed used mold made swords, noone fuckign sued mold made swords and sticked with it, do you think its soem kind of a movie?
you need 1500 degrees celcius to fully melt iron, you cant fucking have that kind of heat for a long time to melt and entire ignot of metal and and put it in a mold, not only that but there would be imperfections in the mold all the fuckign time, it is much more easier to heat iron until its soft and shape it, where the fuck did you heard there were modls used historically?
not only that is factually incorrect it is also harder and basically impossible without modern tools

>>333313567
A Katana wouldn't be seen as something exotic the sailors that first came in contact with it described it as a two-handed cutlass and weren't overly impressed in general.
>>333313664

Would european armor (lets say generic crusader getup) be able to withstand a katana?
Katanas were shitty even to the japanese.
Some faggot beat a master samurai using an oar.
>>333313965
If memory serves they were more impressed with the range of drawing techniques and the okay cutting power.
Swords that were impressive for their cutting capacity were tulwars for example.

>>333308067
The hardness rating of thecsword is quite high, but as a trade-off it will not bend. Unlike most other Asian, Middle Eastern or European swords...if a Katana bends even slightly, it stays bent.
>>333314541
Yes, chain and plate are very effective against slashing weapon.
Katanas are made to rend flesh and cloth, since common footsoldiers were often too poor to afford armor.

>>333314541
Define generic crusader get-up. There were a number of crusades, one started with some poor peasant european fanatics getting wrecked, for example, but they technically still were "crusaders".
If you're talking about the standard chainmail + gambeson + helmet combo, then no, katanas wouldn't cut it. Pun intended. What you need against that, as far as swords go, is a pointy stabbity sword to go through the links unhindered at the point, and thrust like a motherfucker. Still not great though. Swords were mostly side-weapons. If you are equally armored, rush the guy, parrying with your sword, then clinch, make him fall, and go full MMA on his ass before drawing your dagger and pushing it against his throat/eyes.
So no, katanas wouldn't work against "crusader" armor, but most swords neither.

Kek. No swordsfags in this thread.
Katana may not be the best sword out there, but it is popular for a reason. It is "very forgiving in the cut". You maybe be able to achieve the same cut with another sword with enough skill, but with a katana the cut basically performs itself.
Find another webm with any other type of sword cutting though multiple matts.

This weapon is genius
By the time it takes them to figure out what the fuck it is, you're already mid-slash.

It's 2016 you stupid cunt. Do you think in the days of Gta 5 and shit they can't animate the character stabbing more often and quickly if they have a dagger
>>333317518
He asked for "multiple mats".
2 doesn't qualify as multiple now? Given the ease of cutting through them with the Messer, he could have probably gone through another 3 or so with little problem.
What is the most aesthetic sword
>>333317059
Define shitty.
You mean, as in having lots of impurities? Iron sand? It did not a lot more impurities in it than other sources, iron is iron. Now, iron mixed with slag sucks, so, how do we get the slag out?
Two ways, first is when collecting the iron. Which is why modern katanas made with antique techniques, but iron that has been collected with modern method will have way, way better blades than historical katanas.
The second time to "purify" the iron is during the smeltering process, japanese smelters sucked dick, so it wasn't that effective. So they added a third stage, the folding, in which you "burn" the slag away. All the slag? Nope. And which is why historical katanas do not have very good blade compared to a good part of the rest of the world.
But yeah, all iron is impure as it is found in nature, and japanese sources are not overwhelmingly bad in that regard.

I was expecting a good amount like 4 or 5. Step it up kohai.
Here, have a nodachi cutting 25 mats.

For Honor. Game LOOKS cool, but outside of that it basically plays like a dumbed down Mount and Blade (directional combat).
It's also Ubishit, so there's that. I'd ignore it and wait for Bannerlord, or if you're into something like Chivalry, look into Mordhau (the game, not the technique).
>>333318008
Dane axe would take double that no problem.
>>333318008
I feel like the prevalence of these with only katanas is just because nips are the only ones who think that means anything.
>>333317420
What was the point of adding that extra move in order to the guys shoulder with his swords guard, its not like he had any armor in there.
>>333307486
>sword from a foreign land

That's the very definition of exotic you fucking tard
>>333318165
Got any webms or world record to show for it?
It is adorable seeing all the neckbeard wastemen on /v/ acting like experts in shit like ancient weaponry because they used some in elder scrolls or some shit

Probably not. Danish axes are mighty fine weapons, but all axes tend to have thick heads, at the very least when wood meets metal. And in these tests, fine swords are king. You don't need a sword tough enough to meet bone, you don't need to worry about resilience. What you need is to cut through X mats, so make it fine, don't make it bend, and go to town.
Also, most swords in these tests are slimmer than their historical counterparts. As some are made to cut through tatami mats in a safe environment, and the other are a side arm to use in warfare. So it's a sword optimized for tatami cutting in the shape of a nodachi, but not representative of historical nodachi.

A sword can cut through a katana, you mean.
>>333319021
>that one historical pic of the guy who takes one for the team against polefags with his bare hands and comes out on top.
Just wished that I had saved that pic now, shit was balla as fuck.

The Dane axes actually had very slim heads.

Those are javelins, chief. Vanguards can use spears, but only 2-handed. Archers can use javelins with a buckler.
>>333307486
Its not like they're just a twohanded sabre with a pretty ching chong name.
It isn't like Katana's were made of shit ass pig iron because its all they had to work with.
It isn't like any other civilizations beat them to the magic of carbon distributed sword game by like a shitzillion years and were infinitely better at it.
