Swords are very expensive in DFRPG. This is realistic - making a good sword is difficult... but since when has DFRPG been about realism?

So I arbitrarily divided the prices for swords by 5 to make swashbucklers and sword-users in general more viable. What do you think?

Bastard Sword: $150
Broadsword: $120
Cavalry Saber: $100
Cutlass: $100
Estoc or Tuck: $100
Falchion: $100
Falchion, Large: $125
Falchion, Small: $80
Greatsword: $180
Katana: $130
Katar, Large: $80
Longsword: $140
Long Knife: $60
Rapier: $100
Rapier, Edged: $200
Rapier, Light Edged: $140
Rapier, Light: $80
Saber: $140
Shortsword: $80
Smallsword: $80
Smallsword, Dress: $60

What do you think? Note that swords are still pretty expensive. Strictly speaking they are not priced by utility - that would require work to figure out utility - but it's closer to utility compared to axes and spears than standard DFRPG.
