Steel Vs Steel?
by Jason Roland
ANSWER: Swords of all types aren't good against plate. Chain can be punctured by a good thrust, and occasionally cut - though the damage is hugley minimized. Real plate vs a real sword though and the results are not promising... A Katana is no exception, and probably even worse as it never faced plate on the field and was designed for cutting an unarmored opponent in a duel - not on the battlefield. The best weapons against plate are maces and warhammers, that rely on pure force and concussion. Hope this clarifies things a bit. - Paul Jason Roland.
