Weight is 1lb9oz with balance point 3 1/2 in ahead of the handle so nice blade weight for those slashing cuts but nimble enough for getting in to finish off that arrow wounded stag.

looking at that......the biggest issue with a machete for gorse is no matter how good your gloves yo uwill still end up spiking your hand..always wondered how a decent box type handguard like old naval cutlass would go...I tried botton of plastic bottle slid over blade and its not bad...
