An executioner's sword or sometimes called a "Sword of Justice" was a medieval weapon crafted not for traditional combat, but for beheading the guilty. Weighing on average around 4 pounds and possessing a broad blunt blade, this weapon carries a massive amount of force in its swings. Death via this weapon was near immediate.
And if you're wondering what those holes are for, there is a little story to that. As executions often drew large crowds, not everybody could witness the act. Bells were tied to these holes so people knew when the sword was swung.
