Yes,

But your PP is not typical based on weight and blade thickness.
I do however have a Nyabur with a similar blade thickness and probably around the same weight.
But that is also much heftier than my other Nyaburs...

That brings me to yet another question....at such a weight and difficulty to handle, what is their purpose....status???ceremonial???...literally 'my sword is bigger and heavier than yours'??!!

Maybe a deterring effect?
I can handle them (= use mostly circular strikes) but it's not the most efficient sword in my arsenal.
