its not real, but a very practical tool
also since money isn't real they should make everything free
when something is free it's the same as saying it has no value
venezuelan currency is almost free at this point
but I want more swords
are agreements real?
depends on if you're agreeing to give me a sword
lets say i do
would that agreement be real?
yes. should I give you my adrdess, or are you going to give me the money for it
what makes it real?
make it a katana
because I want a sword
how much money would you need for a katana?
wait good point
that would need japanese money and you probably don't have any of that
it depends on how what a katana seller would want for it
ya, but youre not japanese.
Thanks for the offer anyway, maybe I'll find a way to get one some day
you would have to reach an agreement with someone who possesses a katana
I'd agree to whatever he wanted.
katanas are the most overrated sword in human history
until after the trade when you have the katana, and the tables are turned
the whole "folded over a thousand times" thing was done because japanese steel sucks ass and needs all it's imperfections meticulously hammered out
Yeah, but that's just a case of weaboos being weaboos. They're fine swords and impressive given the shitty source of Iron Japan had to deal with.
Didn't they use a wallhanger for that test? I wouldn't take anything on TV as educational when it comes to historic weaponry.
Also that's a pretty dumb test to begin with. Why would you want to chop into another sword that's braced against a table no matter what sword you're using?
look at how it's braced and how it flexes, it looks like it's supported on only two points, near the tip and near the hilt
I suspect that entire thing is fake tho
I don't think you can make even pig iron bend that way with just a single whack
I don't like the hilts of katanas though. A tsuba gives shit for hand protection. It's really impressive just how much a simple crossguard saves your hands.
what weapons would your enemies be having anyway, i dont know what the test results are for
katana vs. katana, it's not a battlefield weapon
It's testing whether a katana would be effective against a man wearing armor made of longswords
lol
Katanas were absolutely battlefield weapons.
barely, and mostly during WW2, before that polearms ruled the battlefield
it's probably just to show people who only hear about katanas in pulp culture
as well as bows of course
Also are we discussing actualy *katana* katanas or just any katana pattern sword
