I agree. It's heavy, but it's a real worker.

Here's a smaller knife by Matt Lesniewski which was inspired by the broken back Seax:



Matt is something of a genius with steel. His knives seem to get unnaturally sharp. Again, another worker.

I find that to be the case. Thanks, VICMAN.

Here's a more refined Wharncliffe from Idaho maker Mike Okamura. D2 steel. Slender handle but very comfortable. Makes a great EDC.
