how much does it weigh? is it sturdy enough for cutting?

Yeah the whole thing feels sturdy, id rather not choose this sword for cutting just cause im not too sure about the curves on it, I had to re-wrap the hilt just cause the leather wasn't glued on very well. It weighs about 4 lbs so it is plenty sturdy enouch to chop through things. I recommend if you were to chop anything, sharpen it first so it puts less stress on the blade.

Its good for deep hacking and damage. It is a sword between 8-10 pounds and although isn't crazy sharp due to the weight an wedge like blade style will go deeply in logs and other hard surfaces. If you are not carful the blade at the hilt will bend.

It depends on what your cutting. I'd say about 6 lbs. It's factory sharp. So not quite like a samurai sword but not a dull blade either

It's sharp enough but a weird shape for gutting. It's top heavy but if you can get around that, it'll be fine

It is about 65 lbs. I can pick it up and carry it by myself. Very good saw.

I don't know the exact weight, however I was able to manage the jaws of the saw easily on lower limbs, especially once they were in place. Once the cut was made, the head of the saw was free and needed to be held firmly or it would fall. Don't stand under the branch you are cutting to compensate for this, let the saw swing out from under if you cannot hold it. As it swings down let it set on the ground. The saw did a remarkable job for me and I learned these tips in the practice. Hope this helps. Happy sawing and be careful.

It weighs around 3 or 4 lbs. It is the smallest chain saw on the market and I looked a long time.

Hi Janet--as the others have said it is around 9 pounds. If you are trimming a tall hedge such as mine(8 feet) and you need to lift it over your head it can get pretty heavy--and I'm a strong guy. However, it is a terrific trimmer--lots of power and neat extension and adjustments. RP

Yes it is- I only used it for certificates, but it feels thick enough to cut multiple pieces.

The tool is very light weight and not unwieldly at all. But in a 12" cut I would use my radial arm saw or my chopsaw.

I specifically bought this to use instead of my heavy farm boss for light trimming. When you are clearing land by cutting lots of bushes and small trees at ground level, 4 pounds lighter can make a big difference.

Not as far as i know, If your cutting steel i dont think its strong enough, on wood it might hold up ok.

I would say it is around 10 - 12 pounds. Not a light cheap tool. The cord is around 12 foot long. Hope this helps

I'm not sure about the weight, I didn't weigh it. I honestly don't wear it much. The knife isn't really that sharp. I'd recommend a regular folding pocket knife if you want to carry something around. This knife would be good for stabbing if anything.

It is made of plastic but it is still very sturdy and not as heavy to move around as a wood one would be. It isn't so light that it will move when you are cutting though. I do generally keep a bracing hand on the table of the cutter when I am cutting but that is mainly to keep the paper from moving.

The saw is strong enough. Make sure you get a long pruning blade (6" to 8") for the job. The pruning blades work great.

It'll work fine. It is really light on the back end making it very heavy on the blade end which could be perfect for cutting off a snakes head.

It cuts very easily. It is very soft aluminum. We used an oscillating tool but a hacksaw would work well too.

yes! Its very thin and light. I cut mine but its not heavy duty enough to stay put now.
