A Magic Sword

USMC veteran Jackson Dodd has purchased the sword that was, reportedly, at one time responsible for 80% of Marine enlistments

You probably know the one. 


The sword is eight and a half pounds, which is insanity. Even the two-handed swords in Albion's museum line don't cross three and a half. One of them is two and a half, which is in line with my experience training in historical European martial arts. All that decorative heraldry built into the hilt, I imagine.

That's pretty wild that it weighs more than an M4 with a 30 round mag. I wonder how the balance is though- with all that weight just at the hand or near it, maybe the balance is , well, less bad than you'd expect for an 8 and a half pounder.
