Katana VS Longsword... The Truth Ain't so Sad! (Response to

Who shall prevail in the epic battle of sword nerds, neckbeard or weeb? Well, the answer is obvious... Neither, they're both biased fanboys with little practical understanding of historical weapons. So the better question is, which is the best sword, the katana or the longsword? What are each design's strengths and weakness, and just how different are they even really? Cerberusarms presented a fair, in-depth analysis with lots of good points, so here is my opinion on it. Feel free to give us your take on "MUH SORD BETTA"... obviously any dissent shall be mercilessly crushed by either a fully armed knight or samurai respectively. :) The video I'm responding to: Katana VS Longsword - The Sad TRUTH!    • Katana VS Longsword - The Sad TRUTH!   Other relevant videos that may interest you: Japanese vs. European Swordsmanship...
