>>991910yes i use it for carpentry, i made a straight handle for it and sharpened it asymmetrically so that the edge is flatter on the right side
i don't know about the weight, i think it's about 1kg?
it's great quality but it's nowhere as carefully made as a gb. the grinding is rough, the poll is roughly forged and not even ground flat. i've read they're often hung out of alignment or the head is loose out of the box or soon thereafter
