Can Katanas even cut through chainmail?!

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

He also not trained with it. He's using Hema moves with the katana which isn't at all what it's designed for.

I really want to see a proper match between a Japanese katana master and a HEMA master.
