swords(especially katanas) are not too heavy XD. 5 pounds on average. But then again thats coming from someone who likes polearms XDAs someone who got official bokken training, I must say swords are pretty darn heavy (even wooden ones). I've held a few katanas and longswords, and they are a lot more difficult to use than they look. That said, I'd probably use some sort of two-handed sword, just because it's all I am mildly proficient with.
