The Atlantean sword weighed about 8.5 pounds, which was quite unusual for swords; because swords are made to be lighter to make it easier to be wielded when the occasion calls for it. It comes as no surprise that it was well handled by Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) given his amazing strength.
Conan the Barbarian (also known as Conan the Cimmerian) is a fictional sword and sorcery hero who originated in pulp magazines and has since been adapted to books, comics, films (including Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer), television programs (animated and live-action), video games, and role-playing games.

The swords for Conan the Barbarian were very exaggerated. The Father's sword weighed about 6.5 pounds and the Atlantean sword weighed about 8.5 pounds. A real sword would weigh around 2.5 pounds so that it would be light enough to use in a swordfight.
At a weight of nearly eight pounds the sword is certainly no lightweight. In fact, the Atlantean's weight puts it far outside the parameters for a functional sword of this size. The sword does have a rather nice static balance, but once it is set into motion its weight becomes a hindrance.
