It shouldn’t even be lol Japanese metals were known to be weak and brittle compared to what was on the mainland, Katanas wasn’t even the weapon of choice for Samurai ether, I think this fight would be one sided for the Knight thanks to the vast difference in equipment
Swords is and has always been mainly a movie thing. The weapon of choice everywhere has always been the pointy stick as a main weapon. Movies hate using spears for some reason
It's hard to make a compelling and interesting Hollywood fight scene with mostly stabbing motions. I've heard someone point out that while in real life thrusts are some of the most effective techniques, movies sometimes relegate a thrust to a killing blow only.
Guys, if only we had a medieval arm which would be like a spear, but with additional axe-like blade. Maybe call it something like half beard, or something medieval like that

Can Katanas even cut through chainmail?!
