sorry to disapoint, but after skim reading that page: it's full of shit.

You don't disappoint, your reply is totally in line with expectations.

those two things alone make them better knives. add a blood groove and a very specific and and quite lethal weilding style, and yeah. the katana will fuck your shit up.

Hell yeah - must be awesome being a ninja eh?

Sandals...

and socks (soccus)

and socks (soccus)

Fourth declension? I would have said second, so: socci ('socks' can't be a collective noun 'cos one of them always gets lost).

I crack myself up (sigh).

It's "Also" not "And". Never And, sometimes and.
Unless you referring to Commander And, defender of Global Warming.

The Katana was only one of many of the ninja's weapons, in fact a criticism of the Ninja was that they didn't stand and fight with the Katana but instead preferred to use their weapons of stealth unlike the Samurai.

That said the Ninja is more interesting.

As to the European long sword here is another view of it;

I think he is a bit harsh on those that like the Katana but suspect this is through frustration, he would go down well on KB

unfortunately my political stance (IDGAF) wouldn't allow me to be a samurai.

you had to be pretty special to get katanad by a samurai, too, if they could kill you without their sword, they would.

i'd fucking suck at nanchaku, but shiruken, rope, poison and sneakyness i can handle.
