All right, PKN 502.

Taylor wants to talk about samurai swords,

and I'm very excited.

I'm hoping there's a visual aid in this conversation.

Well, that'll be up to Zach, but like...

No, I want you to have a samurai sword that was I've got hockey stick and a tennis racket

and that's an American samurai sword and I work out I've worked out mace I got on sale and never used.

All right, well what did you want to talk about?

You samurai swordless.

It was maybe a week or so ago that Kyle in passing was like,

I'm pretty sure the only reason the samurai had their like 10,000 times folded swords was because their steel quality was so lacking compared to like Damascus steel or the

same time period of European steel and I was like that can't be true all the

weaboos online have led me to believe that the katana is the ultimate

blade, the ultimate slicing technology. And no, Kyle was 100% right.

If a European night of the year 1400 would have encountered a Japanese samurai...

Don't say that out loud.

They would have smashed right through the samurai sword.

It would have shattered and broke.

It wouldn't have even been close to a contest and I was devastated to learn this. I didn't. So I am a so even though I might agree with you that is a huge point of

contention online amongst the like historical communities,

the sword fighting communities,

anyone who's got a say in that.
