aaand again that myth about heavy swords
the sword he got in his hands even not a one meter long so its weight should be around 1kg or even less
its not heavy at all
@defianze Simply owning a sword is so difficult in Japan that I'm a bit understanding toward Japanese authors for not realising swords aren't heavy. Another factor are the ridiculously oversized weapons common in JRPGs. A three meters long sword with the thickness of an arm would weigh quite a bit.
Oh my god. I'm laughing at his jealous reaction so hard I had to wait to catch my breath before starting the next chapter.
The huge steel hammer vs the dinky little wooden buckler was AWESOME.
@Kaarme
I owned a couple swords growing up due to a neighbor being a blacksmith as a hobby. He would give me one or two a year for gifts.
Most of the swords he gave me weighed between 1 and 3 pounds, I think? I don't have them anymore, though. I lost them in a move from Florida to Michingan
So, yeah. The average sword isn't all that heavy.
