It balances almost perfectly with my finger in the middle. If anything, the handle is very slightly heavier than the blade.

Yes. It wouldn't be so bad if the handle was a bit thicker for gripping. It seemed unbalanced to me and kind of heavy for every day carry or hiking. Go with the blackbird, ease, or becker

The blade is not thin. It is a strong, sturdy piece of steel that will cut through all types of brush and shrubs. I would get the longer blade if I had a chance to do it all over again. Less bending required....

Neither, I own them, but they are to heavy and cumbersome, better off with a top of the line folding knife.

Yes, proper blade is important ie. Wood vs metal. It's got plenty of power. I must say that my primary use has been meat butchering & some wood cutting

I prefer light knives. They are well balanced and like cutting with a feather. If you want heavy knives then spend 40 dollars for Henckels

Though well balanced & comfortable to use this saw is definately on the heavy side. Unless you are used to handling a larger saw a lot you will likely "feel it" after a few hours of use. Overhead cutting is also demanding due to the overall weight of the saw. Personally I love the saw and I've owned several over the years including a 20" husky. Hope this is helpful

It is quite a bit lighter - i just took my BDM0001 into Sur La Table today to test teh difference. Ended up just replacing the blade on my 0001 vs replacing it with newer version...

I am busy lifting logs for wood stove, very active female 60 something and couldn't pick up the Poulan chain saw.It was heavier than I imagined. Exact pounds? No clue--just to heavy to pick up let alone use! The saw I ordered was far heavier than 1 pound 10 ounces--I could have handled that!

Depends on user but the Pro 32" is best. The ergonomic handle on the pro is much superior. I would guess one pound as they are not designed to pick up "weight"

standard is correct. however, do not try to use x-tra heavy duty blades as they are too thick to fit the blade holder.

Both are great knives, The Robust has a thicker blade so it would likely take a little more abuse. Both are carbon steel so they will throw a spark with a flint. Basically boils down to cost, I have both and the regular companion has never let me down, but I have never really beat on it much. Overall I would go with the robust just for the bit of extra steel and a bit less blade flex.

As long as they are 3G steel I guess that both will do the trick. I have both and are exeptional knives!

Yep, definitely get the GK or GKP if you can afford it. Either is far superior to any of Cold Steel's stamped metal blades, like the RK. Sure the less expensive blades have the protective coating, but once it wears off through sharpening and use, it is just as susceptible to corrosion if not more so. The GK and GKP are monster blades, light and durable, and if properly maintained either will outlive you.
