Can a Samurai Sword be broke in half by another sword?
Either by another katana or a sword from Europe?
generally NO.
not in a moving combat situation. steel can break- if it is weak, poor quality, poorly heat treated or poorly maintained a sword can break.
however the likelyhood of it happening in a moving combat scenario is slim unless the quality of the blade degrades over use or is not properly maintained.
HOWEVER- a large enough object that is heavy enough could deliver this kind of force. a crowbar for example, or lets consider the Estoc- a sword-like object designed to combat plate armors that has no cutting edges and is basically a metal bar with a sharpened tip affixed to a sword hilt.
depending on your definition of a sword- this weapon would have a better chance at damaging and then breaking a sword.
while I did not see the “mythbusters” episodes, I’m damn sure thier experiments were not conducted under COMBAT scenarios, involving them suiting up in protective gear and sparring.
under optimal conditions of course you can break a sword. problem is can you name me any time in combat where you are guaranteed optimal conditions?
