Topic	European swords were not heavy and it didn't take a pulley to pick up a knight
ArchNemo 09/28/22 11:17:13 AM #218:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Is this true? A lot of samurai did use spears but that's because not every samurai was wealthy and swords were expensive. Same with why swords weren't common in European armies. But I'm not sure I believe that if you could afford a sword you wouldn't use it. Especially because someone wealthy enough to afford a sword wasn't going to be fighting in a spear line anyway. I should say, longswords/katanas specifically since short swords would be used in close quarters when spears were ineffective --- Down with the Signess. <cite>ArchNemo posted [p:968350234] in European s...
