I think people forget that this is literally a flamberge. The curves might be a little bit exaggerated, but this is a design that we've seen being used historically in battlefields.

[Tomehawk]

Tatami mats weren’t for testing sword quality, they were for testing swordsmanship. If you weren’t capable of properly aligning the edge of your sword, you would get a messy cut.

[NaroOwO]

I love the part when he actually slices the watermelon

[T_Tridash]

Interesting fact:
Previously, such weapons were banned, as deep, lacerated wounds were inflicted in battle. There is a similar weapon - Kriss Knife.

[arhamjain]

Props to the guy who compared the resistance of a tatami mat to a human arm.

[tatertime]

Tatami mats are not just used to simulate if the sword can cut. Many things can cut through tatami, it's main purpose is edge alignment, and how clean of a cut it is. This sword did cut through, but it more tore through and the tatami mat could only take two swings before becoming completely useless.

Go home katana, you're drunk

This sword is similar to that of a traditional Indonesian sword and with a distinctive curve called Keris.

[altalatala]

Southeast Asia have traditional swords like that. Its called kris or keris depending on the country or region.

[DangerNoodleReads]

He asked “can it slice a watermelon?” And yet never sliced a watermelon.

[yamahadxsynthesiser]

the keris from southeast asia normally has this specific kind of blade. it is supposed to increase the severity of wounds inflicted upon a victim compared to something like a longsword.

[jamesamaral]

Tatami mats do not have the same resistance as a human arm. They were used in place of limbs because they can be uniformly constructed, unlike human limbs which vary in bone density, fat content, etc.

I feel like due to the dynamics of the sword, it would be very easy to impart a strong blow due to the shape of it. The Curvature of it would for the most part make both the movement perpendicular and parallel to the object be put into the force, where as with a normal blade it would only be the perpendicular force (and yes i know you shouldn't slice it perfectly perpendicularly, but im just using it to explain why i think it slices it so well)

[dabroster]

I saw someone do this test with Inosuke's heavily serrated blade. And since it didn't slice, people concluded that it's a terrible sword. But a Tatami mat isn't a good fill in for what it'd do to a person. Not all weapons/swords are made to slice. Inosuke's blade is designed to tear up flesh, and cause blood loss. It's a really painful sword since it won't slice clean, and instead cause more flesh damage than a smooth blade like a katana, it's truly a cruel sword.

[stingerplayz]

1 year and 100 days of asking Mini Katana to make Murasama from Metal Gear Rising Revengence.

[BabuMosahi]

That's just a renaissance flamberge.

[deaths]

The reason why waved blades are as effective as they are is it gives a sort of serrated effect over a larger surface area at much higher speeds.
All the damage of a saw at the speed of a blade

[donald]

if its curves were smaller then it'd just be a flamberge with a katana handle

[hayond]

I had to watch this a 2nd time to make sure I wasn't missing something

But I can't believe I actually missed the slicing of the Watermelon, all my questions have been answered

Imagine you're at war 2000 years ago and there's an enemy walking towards you vigorously swinging his squiggly looking double edged sword
