Is the almost 2kg the sword only? This is very high if all the measurements are correct. Also, don't go so fast cutting the paper if you want to show sharpness. I know many do it this way, but the faster you go, the duller the blade can be and still cut the paper. Pet peeve, sorry...
Is that the sharpness they all have or was that an added sharpening service?
Last point, you could show the vibrational nodes (by hitting the pommel sideways while holding it), this kind of shows where the sword will cut best (center of percussion).
Blade looks good, but personal preference wise the gripp is about 5-10cm too long for a blade that length.

Thank you! Mrstabby. We can definitely work on the tempering to lose the weight, some people complaining the weight as well, we should really improve that. Also, to be clear, we don't have extra sharpening charge service, by default it will be well sharpened. We will take your advice and show it in future video. Much appreciated.
