Lunatock, you cannot compare a two handed sword such as the claymore with a katana, which was a hand and a half sword. If you compare the Katana with European bastard swords, the bastard swords were lighter. If you take a Katana and a European sword of the same lenght, the katana will be heavier.
Modern day katanas which are replicas of the real thing might be light. But an actual Katana would weigh somewhere between 10-15 pounds which is quite heavy.
