no, it weighed like 6 pounds. It is illogical to take something that heavy into battle. You have to swing it for possible hours on end. No weapon maker made something that heavy. Check out the Scottish claymore
How about my baby and personal favorite the Falcata!An ancient celtic weapon used to wreck pretty much any ones day. Then the Kukri,A weapon that won a world war I battle just by the English dropping fliers that said gurkhi troops armed with this little miracle were coming to town. Another beautiful weapon,The Aztec Macuahuitl Obsidian Sword simply for the time it was created and the technology of the civilization who created it! Sharp as a razor or at least as sharp as broken glass.
1. Iron can do that too. You can put a razor edge on anything, the hardness of the metal, like steel, determine how LONG it stays that way.
2. every sword is light
3. chain mail is designed against slashes, piercing thrusts go between the rings and break them open. Stabs are chain mail's weakness.
Damascus were good back in the day, but they aren't so good in retrospect. Higher quality control means that swords today are better than swords back in the day.
Damasucs is weird because we still don't know how they did it. We can replicate it, but we don't know how they did it.
Pretty though
