Death is all I can see whenever anyone holds this. Even to the maker and the user.

Every time Kringle attempts to make this sword, its future self slices through the components before they can be forged.

It looks more like a totem made of swords than an actual sword.

The real question is this:
Where did that kid get colored ink?

theoretically, that kid would never get the sword for a simple reason. the letter sender specified that the sword is supposed unbearably heavy for everyone except them. as a result, kringle would be unable to bring it to his sleigh, let alone deliver it.

Tbf there’s a difference between “too heavy to wield” and “too heavy to move,” and the boy asked for the former. A 150 lb sword would be unusable as a weapon, but could still be transported.

it isn’t supposed to be able to be weilded by even the Heavy metal dwarves. i’m fairly certain anything they can’t carry due to weight is too heavy to be moved. you’d need teleportation for that.

For the sake of argument, let’s say it weighs 300lbs. That can be reasonably transported, but I find it hard to believe even a heavy metal dwarf could wield it as a weapon. Keep in mind a normal sword often weighs less than 5 lbs.

yes. however, the method of transport is a sled pulled by what appears to be entaurs based on the leg we see in kringle’s first appearance. and the sword’s theoretical weight could possibly make delivery difficult. even if it didn’t, kringle would have a hell of a time actually getting the sword on the sled. and while we are talking about weight wouldn’t there be problems with a sword that’s near weightless. i’d imagine that trying to weild a magically weightless sword of that size would result in accidently dropping the sword often.
