When I originally watched the build video it made me imagine a scenario in which a Japanese sword smith got his hands on say, a European or middle eastern sword and thought, 「まあ、これオモロいやつやなぁ。なんとか作ってみようかなぁ。」 It’s hardly unprecedented. I recently learned of Ming dynasty Chinese sailors witnessing the combat effectiveness of ootou and uchigatana in the hands of Japanese pirates and basically imitated the design. There were notable design differences, but they remained popular in China well into the early 20th century, so pretty good weapons.

@Scuzzlebutt142 10 ай бұрын

@@stgibbs86 So what? This thing they created has a standard cross guard and pommel, just like the construction of a Swiss Saber. And using an imported blade is a very european thing, as they imported blades from all over and put them in their own furniture, didn't make them not an example of the sword just cause the blade was imported. If I came across this thing in the wild, and didn't have the backstory, I would classify it as a Swiss saber by its form. What components you used to form it really don't matter. The same way if you fit a Messer blade onto a haft, my first thought would be Naginata, not trying to make up a term for it.

as a physics student, E=.5mv^2. You have slightly more mass in motion, and the mass that's there is moving faster, therefore you will apply more energy in the strike, increasing the force applied and the cutting capacity. The weight distribution thing works because, by putting the mass further from the point of rotation, you increase the moment arm and the speed of that mass, allowing it to store more energy in it's motion, but adding the counterbalance doesn't decrease the moment arm of the existing mass, it only adds more mass.

@SterlingArmory 10 ай бұрын

I wish we could work with you guys on these! Would be a lot of fun and Chris has actually done this exercise before. Just to add, heavier overall swords do not necessarily hit harder, it really does depend on distribution of that mass and how it's used (ie balance point, and how it's swung). An easy way to see this is a variety of feders and sparring swords. If the POB is pulled way back to the guard compared to farther out POBs, they tend to hit a lot lighter, no matter the overall weight. OH! and if you want to do a larger O katana with a euro grip, I think a 1060 blade would be much better than a 1040 blade. Only because those makers tend to really nail the heat treat with 1060 more consistently.

I may be completely wrong but here is my take: When you cut something it means you have surpassed its maximum strain resistance. Strain, like pressure, is the force-to-area ratio and force is mass multiplied with acceleration. In order to increase the acceleration you would need a bigger lever. Now in a two-handed sword the lever has more to do with your two hands and less to do with the center of mass. As a result the change of center of mass is way less impactful than the change in mass.

The longer distance from the tip to the center of mass means that it will be slightly faster on impact. combine that with the additional weight and it means that it should have more angular momentum. It should also give you more point control. It becomes more of a slashing weapon than a chopping blde, though, because the extra mass is now in the handle. On another side note, by adding that heavy pommel, you add in the possibility of a pommel strike to a weapon that never really had one before. Options are good.

Folks be complaining about lowering the center of rotation. When it actually means there is more blade above that point actively helping you cut. And the shorter lever arm makes it easier to move. The only weakness is a lowered resistance to binding blades applying more force back to the user, which we helped fix with a competent cross guard. The argument is like saying a longsword is worse than a broadsword because the blade is longer!

This reminds me of a Fantasy character I made on a "story" I was writing. A kind of Fighter/Ranger (if I compare to D&D), dual blade warrior, using a Katana on main hand and a wide double edge european/medieval sword hold backwards mainly to parry. I remember everyone would get triggered by such abomination as it would make both groups angry. Now this "Simitana" would be the kind of sword he would end up using, he would still o with dual sword fight. I specially like that the handle gives the ilusion that the blade looks shorter, that can be an interesting thing to add in the story. how an enemy underestimate him and thinks it has the advantage cos the simitana looks shorter or doesn't have enough reach

@oaksparoakspar3144 10 ай бұрын

The Tyranthian Scimtana needs a longer blade, a slightly longer grip, and a fishtail pommel. The Katana's weakness is always reach, and since you are adding weight in pommel you can balance that against length, and the fishtail gives you the most capacity to choke down the grip to stretch out the reach further. You would be getting the benefits of a Miao Dao without having the overlong grip due to the pommel weight - getting it more into the longsword family. There is a reason why short swords are so often stabbers - because stabbing loses no energy with shorter length (just reach). Slashing does lose energy the shorter the blade.

Repeat this process with a nōdachi and see if Tyranth doesn't change his mind. Because the tip heavy balance is practically doubled on the nōdachi and giving it the balance of a longsword with the reach of a greatsword might make it completely broken. Maneuverable af, with the weight, stiffness, and momentum to knock a man off a horse with a smack with the flat of the blade.

Regarding the balance and how it affects cutting force I agree with Shad. What comes to my mind is horsepower. HP is calculated with both torque and speed. You can increase an engines HP by increasing the size of the pistons, and therefore increasing their torque. Or you can move them faster. Both will increase the overall HP of the engine, the difference is how you transfer that energy to the wheels, and the same is true here. Yes, you can use conservation of force to keep that mass moving, but a more balanced sword will be easier to accelerate which will make it more responsive and maneuverable. There’s a reason the Formula 1 cars have smaller pistons and shorter stroke which allows them to run at a higher RPM. That allows the engines to rev up and down quicker which makes them more responsive to the constantly changing RPM they need for maneuvering through corners and then accelerating. Vs NASCAR, where more time is spent in straightaways, and even corners are usually not as tight, so larger bore pistons can be used since there isn’t as much accelerating and decelerating.

@dojelnotmyrealname4018 6 ай бұрын

I'm three months late on this, but on the cutting force thing: I think we need to look at two cases: Strikes from the wrist and strikes from the shoulder. (or however it works in detail, I'm an engineer not a sports trainer) If you strike from the shoulder, you strike with the whole blade, and the improved balance will not help much. In a downwards strike the blade will be heavier, which means it will be more gravity assisted, which will improve it's force. In an upwards strike this effect reverses itself and you will lose force. In short, if you overswing, a heavier hilt will make the entire thing heavier. Shock horror. If you strike from the wrist, on the other hand, then the added balance comes into play. Bringing the center of gravity closer to the lever point (your forehand) will decrease the moment of inertia, allowing for swifter strikes. Since you are not striking with the hilt, it does not come into play, so the added weight will have a negligible impact but you will be able to deliver strikes at higher speed. A more balanced blade will be more manueverable and in those manuevers will be more force. This is true in upwards as well as downwards context.

@arronjerden915 10 ай бұрын

If you lower the point of balance toward the hilt then you are adding mass to the working side of the lever and mass x speed = force. So it should have more force with the new hilt assuming that speed is constant.
