Katana Vs. Water Cutter: Slow Motion Showcase Pt. 2

This is how you prove the superiority of a technology. With laser-like precision cutting. Or, better, laser-like precision non-cutting. On TV. In Japan.

[...] We’ve all seen the bullet versus katana videos. The same guys evidently did a more recent Japanse television appearance featuring a test of a katana versus a modern industrial water jet cutter. This one is overly long (6:68 minutes), but the sword’s performance is very impressive. [...]
