The rapier is known for its length, tip maneuverability, and thrusting damage. The katana is known for its cutting power, speed, and quickdraw capabilities. What would happen if we pitted these two swords against one another? Would the tipcontrol and length of the rapier win? Or would the broader, thicker blade and hard edge of the katana triumph? With everyone on Swordtube talking about this subject, we decided to do some freesparring to find out for ourselves!
