Why is a masterwork katana a flamberge?

[Flancan]

Like seriously. I paid for Japanese steel, not some European shit.


Seriously though, why is it a flamberge ingame?

Well, isn't that why you look at the picture before you buy it....? 

[Clockworkkiller]

but historically, japanese steel was of lower quality than europes.




fucking weaboo

He is right. Contrary to actual belief Japanese steel was shit, due to the islands being relatively poor. So they used what they could.

Katana hate thread?

It aint sharper than any other blade really, just has a slightly better cutting shape i believe. Also flamberge over katana anyday, stick with it. I think its your game thats bugged, if you repair it should be good.

Its durability was garbage. You cant directly block with a katana without it breaking to pieces and getting ruined. Blocking with a katana requires a specific blockingtechnique. Do it wrong and the blade turns to crap in 1 swing.

In a comparison between Katana and Longsword the European sword won in terms of quality

Exactly.

Japanese sword smiths were not deemed incredibly skilled for creating weapons that can cut through rocks, they were deemed as such because they were able to make relatively decent swords from the poor steel available to them.

Its durability was garbage. You cant directly block with a katana without it breaking to pieces and getting ruined. Blocking with a katana requires a specific blockingtechnique. Do it wrong and the blade turns to crap in 1 swing.

Which makes me further wonder WHY didnt japanese soldiers used shields before adopting firearms from portugal. Also. the thing about breaking is not necessarily true either. Yeah you will fuck up your blade if you will block with the edge (Which is what most newbies do), but that happens mostly with any bladed weapon.

But I agree that durability of those blades was mediocre.
