The remakes of these swords are 4-6 lbs Manifesto. Maybe there is a large variety and ones heavier though.
Yes, but what I am talking about is comparing the swords of each culture as they were made at that time. The poster above me said it perfectly when he explained about the folding process. It is also interesting about how the katanas were sharpened, sometimes it took weeks to perfectly sharpen one of them, and there was an interesting special about it on discovery channel last weekend. Gogo Sunday Showcase, its the best show on tv

When i posted this it is mainly 1v1 not bows and all that other stuff. Knight has strong armour and big swords but that would make them so much slower when going against samurai.

Probably Samurai I would guess, from my understanding Samurai are more of the 'can fight anything that comes at em' and Medieval knights are more trained for specific causes. My brothers talked to me only a bit about samurai though, so I could be wrong =/

That was sweet, thanks

Samurai > Knights. By far. They are superior in every way.
|
Very well presented point, Chuiu, but I prefer to listen to the expert opinion that Mynock linked.
|
thx mynock for the link
some history students should make an experiment out of this:
several european students with the correct armour+sword vs. several japanese students with correct armour+katana
they need to get trained with their equipement first, but it would certainly be entertaining as hell

It takes years to make a good katana. Keep that in mind.

Samurais > Knights by a land slide

To me, in the past..
European Nations and Asian Nations have both good qualities..
Umm, I think the Asian Nations had good weapons like the katana and the invention of the cannon... not really a cannon but the materials to make one (gunpowder).
But I think the 2 nations were both evenly matched..
In history terms, Asian Nations mastered the art of guerilla war fare but European had heavy weapons and calvary.
In Simple terms Samurai - Light fast smooth effective
Knights - Heavy slow but very very strong. (Seeing as how most knights in history were strong, it dosent matter that the swords were heavy since the knights could hurl tham 202312 yards anyways)
Also, I have held these swords from museums to shops, so I sorta know..
I may be wrong since I didn't completely study these, but this is what I think.

Believe me when I say there are people with no lives that love to sit around figuring out who would win in a fight between a samurai and a knight,
Isn't that what we are doing right now?

Maybe it depends on the knight or samurai.. not the fact that they were from Japan or a knight from a European nation.

Samurai are like 3-3 cracklings with stim while knights are unupgraded, 2x slower zealots. Knights have more power and armour, but they are much slower and are less manueaverable in battle situations. Cracklings, what can I say, they are on crack. Fast, skillfull, fearless, not afraid of death, they attack their enemy with unparalleled fury.
GG
Cowboys vs Indians? hahaha
Ninja's > all
