Katana Mythbusting Extreme

Note: This is not degrading Katanas in, Tameshigiri athletes and certainly not Japanese swordmakers. It is just a bit of Katana mythbusting, is all.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Katana is notoriously famous around the world. While it is no doubts a fearsome weapon and extremely lethal in the hands of the practiced master, how dangerous is it really when wielded by a total newbie?
Can a total amateur cut a "human leg" equivalent (Tatami Omote)?
Can a crude home made "sword" (sharpened flat steel) cut an Omote mat?
Can a Katana cut through a cheap steel sword without any damage?
This video has the answers.

Instead of just winning a fight the normal way, someone who's supposed to be "cool" and scary will humiliate the opponent by moving faster than they can see (effectively teleporting) and landing the knockout/killing blow before they can move. The cliche then spawned a meme that's used to mock those angsty power fantasies where the author's avatar (originally Coldsteel the Hedgehog, a parody of edgy Sonic fan creations) teleports behind someone and says "nothing personnel kid" (the misspelling is intentional), presumably before killing them.

Myth 2 was a fail due to thickness of your crude sword on its trailing edge. It caused friction and dragged entire stuff with it before completing the cut even though you had enough power to cut clean with it.

[@samuelshuck1559]

I agree, had he honed the edge and polished the blade it definitely would've cut clean through.

[@suicidaleuphoria7012]

Not only that, he cut the bamboo roll with the halfway point of the Orc blade. If he had cut the mat with the first six inches of the blade, he would have had twice the velocity of leverage. Plus, swordsmen always cut those mats with a downward angle of 45 degrees, and not a horizontal stroke. The Orc sword almost made it.

This is what happens when a strength build uses a dex weapon.

[@KingHalbatorix]

I get the joke but in real life katanas are definitely STR and not DEX weapons, they are _very_ thick and heavy compared to european swords. A normal katana is usually equivalent to a hefty broadsword, that's why they chop so well.

[@NaTatkaTiGust]

@@KingHalbatorix 1.2kg is heavy?

[@KingHalbatorix]

@@NaTatkaTiGust his was a lightweight example, being a modern reproduction with quality steel. Japanese steel up until the dutch began trading at deijima was low-quality compared to the rest of the world's. the multi fold forging technique was developed to get useable quality metal out of their iron ore, if they didn't put so much work into refining their billets it wouldn't even be possible to make a sword at all. Period accurate katanas are closer to 5kg, which _is_ heavy for a sword. The absolute heaviest swords known to have actually been used in combat were claymores, at only around 8-10kg. Edit: to be clear, the lower quality steel made thicker and heavier blades necessary for strength. This also lent quite a bit to their cutting ability (obviously) but meant that they were never exactly nimble.

[@NaTatkaTiGust]

@@KingHalbatorix I couldn't find a single source to back your claim up, there is no way a katana back in the day would weigh 5kg, unless it's a nodachi.

I’d assume the rule (myth) that only experienced swordsmen could cut mats is a leftover, historic guideline turned dogma, from when the tatami mats where still prisoners’ arms.

[@charlestredway8253]

Awesome and very informative and interesting! You are an awesome demonstrator of weapons! I enjoy your videos very much!

[@agoogolofgeese]

I love your laugh. Kinda random, but it’s exactly how I imagine the laugh of a character in the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by author Tad Williams (which I’m currently reading) to sound. Isgrimnur is a burly, aging yet able bodied sort of knight/warrior with a kind heart and a warm, “cool uncle” kind of demeanor despite his intimidating rough-and-tumble appearance. Not that you’re old by any means! You just have a great laugh and you’re holding a sword so.. there we go! You’re now my mental image for Isgrimnur when reading his parts. Hope that’s okay 😂 (Also if you haven’t read those books and you’re into that sort of thing, I highly recommend them! GRR Martin said they inspired his Game of Thrones series and imo they are better than those) Cheers!

"This is where the angle grinder sharpened all that steel. The rest I probably inhaled *evil Teutonic laugh* " This right here is why I love this channel.

He didn't inhali it, though - he was protected by his safety t-shirt.

Tony Graham yes, exactly like that

[@Kulbinator]

better not high five him too or you might loose an arm xD

[@rbd6502]

Hunter oliveira at the very least, after he turns you into a paraplegic, u can say "I'm Batman!!!" while he stands over your broken body

This guy is having so much fun! This video left me with a smile!

[@ct-yl8742]

imagine being a home intruder and just hearing "SHAQ!!" "Ahaha i made it!" While you are blacking out

[@arthas640]

I had a buddy who was an army vet that had a home intruder once (it was base housing so sometimes "home intruders" were actual burglars but sometimes people just literally walked into the wrong house because theres 300 identical houses on a street and they didnt live there long). My buddy is 6'2", a lean 200lb, and is an Appalachian hillbilly and looks/sounds just like it. He heard a noise and ran down stairs completely naked and then starts screaming at the intruder as soon as he hears him. I can only imagine the terror you feel when you see a 200lb naked hillbilly charging you, hurling random objects at you with his dangly bits flopping around aggressively.

Thank you algorithm. I've seen this video when it came out but glad to watch it again. Nostalgia is something beautiful ❤️

[@MrMirofl]

A great video to come back and watch from time to time. So much FUN!! hahaha

While you were studying the sword, I was studying the angle grinder.

[@johnmarston4012]

[@thatguybrody4819]

i mean i'd be running if i heard the angle grinder start up behind me and then "let me show you its features"

Imagine breaking into this guys house late one night and hearing the sons of a sword being drawn and then from the darkness you hear a Viking voice scream LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES!!!!

Imagine seeing this comment re-posted on every single video.

He's German so lets say Crusader

[@heroicaknight4735]

I'd profusely apologize, then let him rune through nonetheless.

5:40 "the other half I probably inhaled." :D :D

And all of the grinded steel he inhaled increased his strength stat by 500

You may have missed it, but at 2:35 he quickly performed an iaijutsu blade strike that sent a blade of air rushing out and dispatched 8 hidden shinobi nearby.

[@InquisitorialOperator]

I gotta say, as impressive as the rest of the video was, I really REALLY loved the look of that bath 😂

Be honest, you made the video just to show off your cool hot tub huh?

6:20 Top: Katana that a Japanese officer in the army might use at the beginning of WW2. Bottom: What a Japanese conscript might be armed with towards the end of WW2, assuming they had any steel in the first place.

[@istrelok3678]

4:20 I love how the light nearly went off the moment he started that monster of a an angle grinder

[@nasstudios1]

LMAO dead

[@KFrascek]

This ork sword looks insane^^

[@LifeSavingDefense]

Interesting Curious. Did you grind the steel to the same thickness as the katana ? weight?

[@julthefool150]

Since the swings were horizontal they lifted the tatami mat from the stand. A diagonal swing from top left to lower right wouldnt have yielded that result. I think due to the extra power coming from the vertical component of the diagonal blow you might have been able to cut the mat with the „orc sword“

I'm a headphones user and guess what, my ears survive because I'm smart enough to turn down the volume when someone is about to anglegrind a sword from steel.

[@caseykline2327]

oh and the only reason why the ork sword didn't work was because it has a much larger profile and isn't as skinny as a butter knife.
