Just because we've said you shouldn't chop wood with swords doesn't mean you can't, and in this video we test that to the extreme!

The directing and editing style since Tyranth joined the channel is so entertaining. And the chemistry the three of you have is incredible. Hats off to you sirs. Surprised by the katana in this. Sure they're sharp, but they don't have as much mass as some of the other swords to push through thicker objects.

@lexievv Год назад

They are more ridged and wobble less tho, so maybe more of the force of impact is actually going into the wood.

@kikixchannel Год назад

@@lexievv They are also thinned probably, so there's less opposition from the wood. The exact reason why claymore was crap. It was too thick.

@stefthorman8548 Год назад

what? katanas aren't light at all, what makes you think it has less mass?

@KoshoShinogi Год назад

@@stefthorman8548 Mass and weight are not the same. Mass is a measurement of how much matter an object contains, not how heavy it is. But let me clarify my statement. The falchion and broadsword are wider than the katana. The katana is a longer but narrower sword, so its overall mass may be similar, but at the point of impact where the sword strikes the tree, the other two have more mass. More mass equals more force. I am by no means a physicist so feel free to correct me, but that was my thinking when I made the statement.

@kikixchannel Год назад

@@KoshoShinogi Um...Katana does have more mass... You're right in that mass is not the same as weight. But that's mostly all you are correct on. In a world where gravity exists, objects with more mass will be heavier. That's because weight IS just mass times the gravitational force (which is equal). An object with twice the mass will also be twice as heavy. Furthermore, going by their size and balance, katana is more dense so there's even MORE mass at the point of impact. Because there's more mass in smaller part of the small blade. This is exactly the crux with a katana. Its density, stiffness and being blade-heavy makes it a good cutter, but far more fragile and less 'agile' than western blades.

@cdgonepotatoes4219 Год назад

People who don't spare a thought about what to do with the felled tree, usually aren't bright in general an therefore you shouldn't pay them mind.

I expected the swords to wind up bent in all sorts of unnatural ways, but it seems they held up quite nicely. Now my only question left is: sharp axe vs sharp sword, which holds their edge longer? If they're relatively close, then the only real advantages the axe would have is more material available to grind away, meaning a longer working life, and the cost. Well, this has officially updated the idea of "never use a sword to chop wood" into "in an emergency situation, a blade is a blade".

I love how they where color-coordinated in this video, they look like an adventuring party with matching uniforms

This was a fun experiment and I was also surprised by how the claymore performed. A shame about the messer, too. Since Nate mentioned that he isn't very familiar with one sided swords at the end, I'd love to see you guys do a video on 18th/19th century cavalry sabers. Not sure how familiar you are with the topic, but it's just a suggestion anyways.

ok I came here because on the more recent video Shad mentioned this one and said it was one of the best videos thus far and it didn't get nearly as much attention as it should. I have been called, and I have answered, and I was rewarded with pure youtube gold!

16:59 EXACTLY, modern mono steel are indeed simply way better than folded steel that lacks purity. This tree cutting test has given us quite a big info that having the same material factor, katana blade profile proved to be just as good if not better in cutting & chopping compare to longsword blade profile.

Realistically, specific swords aside, it should just be the sword that is most axe-like, which in the blade would be something like a kriegsmesser, or even more exaggerated would be maciejowski falchion. That kriegsmesser handle does look painful, though, both the material and the shape.
