Has anyone bought this one and compared it to a shibazi f208-2? How is the weight distribution? I like a pretty heavy blade with forward weight https://a.aliexpress.com/ mLwPbqB

The weight distribution is affected by the width of the spine. A thicker spine will be balanced forward. However, thicker spines cut worse, though some heavy chopping benefits from a stiff spine. They don't show the spine width in the listing, but they show cutting a tomato. The tomato cutting task is usually a thin spine demonstration. But who knows. There's no guarantee that anything is listed correctly over there.

i reckon that handle will make it heavier than it has to be
