If I am right he says: The Europeans could match the quality of the katana's or even exceed it. But because they had more steel, they choose more swords of lesser quality... At least that's how I understand it. So the katanas' were of better quality. The European smiths could make excellent weapons, but they didn't.
So will the heavy horse tip the scale in the end? |
In answer to this Ted I think YES.
So far we have these arguments that make a Samurai superior.
1)Attitude,fanatical belief and bushido code.
2)Training and skill,martial arts armed and unarmed
3)Weapons,finer quality swords
And in the European corner we have:
1)Attitude,also fanatical and a moral religious code that makes them unafraid of death.
2)Training and skill
