It is impossible to inflict toxic on these guys. They have too low HP and too high Poison resistance.

The only thing I can think of is that the Gravelord Sword deals pure physical damage, which means that only one defense stat has to be accounted for.

As a general rule of thumb, if two weapons that have the same total AR, but one is split into two damage types, the pure physical weapon will do more damage.
