    longswords are actually more nimble due to the balancing they have over the katana, the katana is more blade heavy for better cutting, while the longsword is balanced to cut and thrust.

    So multiple problems with the video,
    1. It's clear that the Katana they're using is a replica from their own store, which wouldn't be a problem if it was an actual forged Katana and not something that was slapped together in a factory, the blade on the Katana you can tell when you watch frame by frame that it kind of drags the mat a small bit with it before actually cutting meaning the blade isn't sharpened and doesn't have a good edge.
    2. Why have only one person who only has practice with a Katana test both weapons? They're both completely unique swords and have entirely different stances, styles, and swings that you absolutely need a seperate person that actually knows how to swing a greatsword.
    3. If the point of the video was to try to sell me your product, then why end the comparison with a simple "well they're both different swords so we can't really compare them," ending? Wouldn't it have made more sense to make some sort of attempt to give the edge to the Katana, or at the very least say if you liked the Katana the guy used you can find it on our store? Idk it just feels like this store is run by kids or something

    • @spicketspaghet7773
      @spicketspaghet7773 Před rokem +1

      I agree with the part about the edges. The longsword didn't even seem sharp.
      The stances however are far more alike than apart, however! Despite being completely separated, there's almost a 1:1 version of any katana stance that european stances also use. Foot angle differs a little, but they are close enough to be hard to recognize.
      Still, even with the slightly sharper katana, those cuts felt mediocre and the longsword didn't even cut at all.

    Several problems in this video. They probably get a very poor replica. They tell us nothing about the sword... shapness, type of steel, weight, point of balance, the maker... It looks that everything is wrong with this sword.
    And its a Longsword, not a greatsword.
    Longsword and Katana are in the same range of weight, 1 to 1.4 or 1.5kg
    The point of balance in longsword are closer to the hilt, which makes more nimble and feel lighter. (The katana is shorter and have a thicker blade)
    See Skallagrim and others cutting with the longsword here on CZcams. Longsword can Cut as good as a katana.
    The longsword does not loses for katana in anything and its a more versatile weapon.
    Also, cutting with longsword is More technical due to the straight and more flexible blade. You need to get a very good edge alignment. The Katana has a "autocorrect" effect that helps with the cut. (Search for Shadiversity video talking about the Katana to see "autocorrect" stuff)

      The longsword is not perfect either, and anyone is retarded if they think it is and just as dumb and ignorant as anyone else
      1. because of its length and P.O.B it was a far greater disadvantage in terms of CQC and speed.
      2. Because of the type of steel as well as design, it’s not as good in terms of its control for cutting, it cuts because it’s a blade but not what it’s designed to do.
      They both have their intended designs and they they excel in what they were designed to do…..

    @jofelchristianbasilio3982 Před rokem +100

    The longsword is a cut and thrust weapon while a katana is more focused on the cut also curved swords are easier to do cuts with because of their blades doing draw cut motion, straight blades on the other hand require you to do the draw cut motion manually to get an effective cut not doing will result in a chop instead of slicing motion and when it comes to weight both a standard katana and longsword weigh very similarly at around 2-3 lbs, it also varies depending on size and where the point of balance is on the sword and the quality of the sword matters if doing a comparison.

    @nebulus48 Před rokem +24

    That European sword you're using is NOT a greatsword by any metric really. It's more of a two handed longsword. (Which is okay, cus that's the better comparison anyway). A greatsword would be something like the zweihander. You also said the sword was the "Main weapon of the knight." Which is for the most part, false. Like you stated with samurai, European knights and soldiers pretty much used spears and bow and arrow for formation fighting. With the british warbow in particular being so notorious for being able to completely punch through plate mail armor. It was the equivalent of getting hit with a cannonball pretty much.
    From the tests your performed, I have reason to believe the longsword you used may have been at least slightly blunt. Despite the fact the dude had perfect edge allignment, he was unable to slice through the mat in any sort of clean fashion -- at all. Which ISN'T accurate to european swords as they were, very much so, sharp weapons. You also did not mention the other factors with the two weapons aside from simple cutting efficiency. Such as the advantage of a crossguard over a tsuba guard. Which provides much more protection against attacks towards the user's hands than the small circular guard of the katana. As well as the added advantage of a hilt pommel, providing another grappling range option.
    The Number one biggest issue here is how you didn't mention the fact the Katana is a sword leaning more towards cutting, whilst the longsword is more for thrusting and greater protection in battle. Providing the longsword with greater utility against armor, especially combined with half-swording techniques.
    In my personal opinion, The Longsword is the greater weapon. But both have their place and uses, strengths and weaknesses. It just pains me that this video made the Longsword look so bad compared to the katana.

    Greatswords weren't just used in the English Isles via the Irish Gallowglasses or Scottish Highlanders. They found use with the Frisians and German Landsknecht in mainland Europe. They were a primarily anti-cavalry weapon used against horseback riders. The most famous of these greatswords was the Zweihander (literally "two-hander"), with its long sometimes wavy blade and massive parrying lugs. Another variant was the Montante used by the Iberians. Hope this bit of trivia helps.

Hoy se construyen con materiales de buena calidad, es natural que corte, pero vayamos al pasado y comparemos una Katana de la época en la cual el hierro en Japón era de mala calidad VS La espada europea la cual era fabricada por los mejores herreros del continente y además el hierro era de la mejor calidad. Las espadas eran bien balanceadas y sobre todo habían armas incluso para combate pesado contra armaduras. Actualmente sería justo si se compara una Katana vs una LongSword de más de 2000 dólares. Allí se verá que ambas son iguales a la hora de cortar. Agrego! La kriegsmesser le gana a una Katana si hablamos de armas con curvatura similar en la hoja.

    The great sword is not heavier it's designed to have its weight primarily focused at the front as it gives the sword more control. Rather the katana is single sided and is weighted at the middle therefor making the katana slower. NOT FASTER

      Well, you could half sword with you longsword and use the cross guard or the pummel to severe injure or kill your opponent. With the katana you could do similar with the kashira, using it in close combat, commanding his weapon and striking the helmet of you opponent, causing concussions on his head. Nevertheless, I think that agains armored men its more accurate to use blunt weapons, such as a hammer, a staff, mace or a spear.

      yea the cuts were maybe not the best also because of his facial expression. He seemend to be very tensed while making the cut and that can likely lead to bad cuts. The sword has also a huge impact on the cutting quality. Their sharp swords are made of 1045 carbon steel which is in fact the worst metal for Tameshigiri and as u can see how the blade was designed, it is probably not sharpened very good. So in conclusion even if his skills are good, the swords is like a bottleneck to that skills.

    When it comes to cutting. It comes down to steal, and sharping. The Katana was actually used a lot in battle. The Katana is better sword for combat and dueling. It is so much faster, may not be as strong as the long sword. But, it has that perfect balance between strength, and speed. When it comes to dueling; the rapier is king. But, not very effective in combat.
