not only one man, i read in the "Hagakure" how really good Katanasand can cut a man in half with one blow
(made by great swordsmiths) were tested.
They stack dead bodys and the book says that the best ones can cut up to SEVEN man in half in one blow.
That would no european sword have managed. But I think It was not the Katana alone that would them make superior in an one on one fight with a european Knight, the light but effectiv armor and especially the way of handling the Katana was it.
And the Katana have not to cut a car, only to cut the knights armor,
think (except a late Plateharnish) that would be no prob for them.
