Greetings,
If your fighting SCA, you may want to check your kingdom rules on single weapon weight. That seems a bit heavy. From what i remember < dont have the book in front of me > a single handed weapon's max weight is like 5lbs. But i could be wrong. I think Pole Arms and great weapons only go up to 6 1/2 lbs.
