Not sure about it but aren't swords like wakizashi, katana and Co not primarily for cutting and slicing? Cutting is not really effective against body armor. Probably an old Zweihänder or longsword would be more effective, since they're made for stabbing. But again, I could be wrong, misremembered something or both.
