From: http://www.thearma.org/essays/weights.htm
"For example, the lengthy catalog of swords from the famed Wallace Collection Museum in London readily lists dozens of fine specimens among which it is difficult to find any weighing in excess of 4 pounds. Indeed, the majority of specimens, from arming swords to two-handers to rapiers, weigh much less than three pounds."
The replica market very rarely actually creates swords of true weapon caliber, even when they're "edged".
On the other hand, that makes it more likely that what Dora has is one of these overweight replicas, but I prefer to think of her as somebody who appreciates authentic. :wink: And considering how freakin' sharp the spring steel broadsword a friend let me handle was, I finally believe that it is possible to cut somebody in half with a sword. That would make a fine anti-robbery implement in any girl's arsenal.

In strip 1321, two days ago, notice Dora is holding her broadsword, and Faye has the mop. That's why it's Penny's turn to clean up the mess.
Very subtle, Jeff.

Looks more like padding applied to a broomhandle for use as a practice spear/lance to me.
ross_teneyck:
Heaviness is relative. A sword that weighs three or four pounds is easily light enough for any normal person to lift it with one hand; but if you start swinging it repeatedly you'll quickly find that three or four pounds is a lot heavier than you thought it was.
