i have looked around the net and all sites say the weight 3 pounds ......BS... they would weight sum thing like 40 pounds so whats the weight?
so a sword made of steel thats longer then my arm thicker then my big toe weighs less then a pink 5 pound dumbbell?
this is a sword made of steel how can it weight 2 pounds
Training swords (Laido) start around 1lb 9oz, a quality Tachi Gunto tempered steel without scabbard (saya) would weigh from 3lb 8oz up to 4lb depending on length and handle material. I saw one in Iwakuni Castle that was twice the size of any others I have seen or handled, it could have weighed up to 20 lb with handle and scabbard.There is a photo of it in my Japan Castles set on flickr (kiddus_i2003)normal swords have a length of around 30" this was closer to 50".Who would have used it I don't know , but he would have had to been huge.
