Nah, they are sharp, but flimsy.

They were designed to cut-off unprotected limbs. Since iron was very scarce in feudal Japan. So metal armours weren't really a thing for the majority.

Put them up against an European sword, where they did have more pure iron ore and they will break.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
