Front heavy, uncomfortable grip when used 1-handed

"The point of balance (POB) on this sword is 6 1/4" distal of the cross guard. This makes for a "choppy", front-heavy sword. This is not what I was expecting, considering that the POB on most other good-quality hand-and-a-half swords on the market run between 3 1/2" and 5 1/4". While the sword is advertised as "Lightweight: At 2.35lbs, this weight makes it easy to wield and control the sword.", the too-far-forward POB makes the sword feel heavy when used with one hand. Because of the blade's leverage, the flattened cuboid design of the hilt makes for a very uncomfortable grip when used with one hand, as the edges of the grip concentrate the force into a narrow line of your palm . FYI, the sword is made in India instead of China, which I consider a positive."
