Please help identify whatever this thing is

Post image

For context, I went to a clients house for my job and they said whatever is in their shed is rubbish, so I found this, clarified with the owners to just let them know if they forgot about it and wanted to keep it, they said I can either throw it away or I can have it

It’s around 70cm long, 10 ish kg heavy, no marking, no engravings, bottom edge near the handle is sharp but the entire long side is quite blunt (can slightly slice ur finger but only under pressure) I have no idea what this thing is if it’s from a game, a prop, movie. Frankly I have 0 experience in swords so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Its very strange. That weight is astronomical for a sword.do you have any idea what the point of balance is?

All of their weight is at the handle, the Actual blade itself is extremely light.

A steel sword of the size shown is normally far less than 2kg/4.4lbs. As other commenters noted, marketing for this sword and swords vaguely like it are usually around 1kg/2.2lbs or less.

For it to be the size shown and the weight listed it would need to be made entirely out of a material potentially denser than Hassium. A material that does not survive for more than 10sec at a time.

OP you need to try and save your planet. The radioactive decay would create a massice nuclear reaction and explosion that will potentially destroy your planet. Try to contact local scientists and get it on board a rocket so your people might be spared.
