A.alnakkas,
Hello, thank you very, very much for your help in translation. I really apreciate it. Please forward my thanks and apreciation for his/her time to your friend who might be able to research the poem.
Gene, Hello, I will itemize your questions, no problem on bombarding with many.
1. Balance is surprisingly good, you can feel the heft of the blade while holding but not to the point thats is uncomfortably blade heavy. Grip area is thick and allows you to create a good firm grip so it helps with the heft of the blade. Balance point ia 10" from the guard. (I put the blade on its spine and found the point where it freely balances sitting on my extended finger.)
2. Unfort. dont know the overall weight, I dont have the scles with a hook where I can suspend something, I might pick some up this weekend and weight it for you..
3. Swings feel good, if you work your hand and your body properly with a swing, heaviness of the blade makes it feel even better, it almost like your body follows the blade.
