Your right soldiers peasents etc etc... would think it was the earth rising up against them
A japanese Katana could cut through a knight sword but a knight sword would barely knick a katana

Hence the katana wins :D

The point of a sword is not to cut through another sword, but to cut through the person wielding it.
So youd cut the the sword in half then kill the guy.

Yeah, because a trained warrior isn't going to stab you with his new found knife.

It really is best if you didn't cut the sword first, it kinda saves some energy if all you have to cut is soft flesh, instead of metal swords and stuff
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

I even know the type of chainmaille that would cover the joints. It wouldn't make sence if the rest was weaker.

Also who wants to break a perfectly good LEGO sword every time you have a duel in a game? One of my castle swords broke by accident in 1997, and I'm still pissed off about it.

bamboo's actually very strong wood, that resists cutting.
