The WORST of: European Sword vs Japanese Katana

Ah.. I started commenting on katana vs. longsword videos in 2009, and was among three or four others in the sea of thousands of brainwashed (okay, maybe "brainwashed" is a bit strong) folks who lauded the clips shown in this as proof of how European swords were "inferior". Fast forward to 2016 and growing awareness has lead to more and more viewers calling out these biased documentaries. I like to know that I said the katana wasn't magically better before it was cool.
