Don’t care who wins, because I wouldn’t want to be hit by either.
-
I’m team Claymore. Not only because of the history behind it but how much it reminds me of Andúril from Lord of The Rings.
-
This is the better vertion of “katana vs longsword”
-
If I recall correctly, the odachi and notachi were used mainly to strike at a calvary's horse (not the person on the horse)*. The tachi (Kotō through the Muramachi period), and later katana (Heian to Edo period), were used on foot when the samurai couldn't use their bows. Really, the main weapon (before gunpowder) was the bow and arrow. Perhaps a better test would be the yumi vs the long bow. *correction.
-
But the real question is, can our medieval weaponry defeat Australian Emus?
-
Who wins? Whoever is the better swordsman.

Big swords=big likes 👍

As a U.S. Army combat veteran I thought, "Of course the M18A1 Claymore mine would do the job..." And then I realized I didn't have my coffee... 🥴

"wiggle, wiggle, wiggle" 🤣🤣 Absolutely amazing content guys, as always, much love! Thanks for the time and energy you put it, it's not unnoticed

You guys might want to consider finding a good reproduction of a nagamaki. Particularly one of the larger examples, which could be nearly six-feet long. If you know what you're doing, a nagamaki is easily more useful than a nodachi, with the caveat that the blade itself is shorter to make up for the significantly longer handle; it's basically a pole-sword with a full-length tang. But the leverage that gives you is phenomenal!
-
The handle of the nodachi has to be longer (historically it was much longer) to be more manageable, even the handle of the katana shown in the video was longer
-
the handle for Ōdachi was too short. Traditionally the handle length for it is 4-6 hands long with some being 8 hands long. This balances the blade so much better. For comparison Claymore is 2-3 hands long.
-
Personally I'm going with the claymore. I really love the look and utilitarian design of Medieval double-edged swords. Something just looks so beautifully efficient about the long tapering double edged blade, straight hilt, and cross guard. It just looks good and functions amazingly.
-
I haven't watched the results as yet. But I have to say, as a Scot, you had my attention at "claymore".
-
I could be wrong, but I think most nodachis normally has way longer handles. I don't really know exactly how this would change the results, but it would allow for more accuracy and power I think as you could spread your hands farther apart
-
Yeah that there handle needs to be twice the size
-
Nate...what happened?! My boy...I had such high hopes in you!
-
Right on time for the dinner entertainment, thank you! I love the dynamic between Nate and Tyrant, such a fun duo.
-
Isn't an Odachi/Nodachi meant to have a longer handle (twice as long as the one in the video) and be the counterpart to a greatsword/Zweihander?

"Ad revenue is way down" My brother in Christ you have NO ADS in your video.
