Weight: So there is different from a lot. By the original manufacturer (Cold Steel) 890 grams were given. As the owner of a katana with 1.3 kilos I can only say - the part is heavier than the oo why ever deduction 0.5 point, because something like 1 can händig a bit hard wear.
Handling: This is the Simple tile nuisance. The weight is so hard at the front of the blade, the quick, targeted strikes are not only exhausting, but situationally impossible. I own as compared to 2 Händer of Cold Steel, and can be run 1 Händig almost easier and especially stop again.
By Imbalance is me especially almost impossible with 2 einhändern against a 2 Händer to Block. It just remains no force on the blade when the weakness of the blade bears the brunt and are then also blocked with the "must".
All in all a pity, I had hoped that more, but that must be the end everyone know for themselves.
