Mercenary Club's weight is 28 kg. Why is this small club super heavy. It is Edge Type 1 and crafted by my lvl 100 Master Smith. Should be like half that judging by the model or 18 kg

This is indeed ridiculous, but that's how blunts work in Kenshi. Heavier it is - more damage it deals. I think there's also some dependency on strenght, but weight is equally important.

I looked at the other blunts and the Jitte and heavy Jitte are also super high on weight.

yes the blunt damage on a weapon is based on its strength. You can mess with this via FCS but I'm not sure how to get good results.

If weight is a key part on damage, but the resulting weight of object is exaggerated, they can be lowered to a more reasonable weight and adjust the strength variable in the damage formula proportionally, can't they?

Meitou Fragment Axe is 70kg. The heavier it is the more damage it does.

Its also better strength growth with heavier weapons.
