That would be about right. And as to the 20 kg sword, I think he said only
the strongest men could do that.. otherwise it was a two-handed weapon.
Personally I prefer oriental weapons, though I do have a fascination with
swords of any type... lol.

A typical knight's broad sword weighed about 3 pounds. So, I'm guessing
with would be 1.4 kg?

Hi Milos,
Yep, a 20 kg sword sounds like allot of weapon to be wielding in a
prolonged battle. Especially since, like you said, it is usually wielded
in one hand with a shield in the other hand.
I do believe that a standard sledgehammer is 4 or 5 kg.
