The weight of a katana varies from 800 to 1,300 g, depending on its dimensions and the materials used.
The center of gravity (the katana's point of balance) is also important:

A katana's center of gravity: this is the point of balance. It determines the sword's sense of gravity.

It is usually located 10 / 15 cm from the tsuba (鍔 guard). The further away it is, the greater the sensation of weight.

For lovers of tradition and authenticity, hand-forged katanas with carbon steel blades offer an experience close to that of the samurai of yesteryear.
