I am curious. Okay, truthfully, I'm thinking of writing a book in which swordplay is involved.
So, my questions.
Which do you prefer? The broadsword/longsword? Rapier? Foil? Epee? Katana? How about tai-chi swords?
Which do you think would have an advantage against which?
Obviously, a foil would be useless against a heavier sword, as far as blocking purposes goes, and it would not work well against armor.
An OLD katana might actually cut through the armor?
I would think that the speed of the sword would be a contributing factor.
Any thoughts y'all have would be appreciated.
