What constitutes "reeeally heavy"?

A search of Google for "lightweight machete" turned up a Gerber model at 
15.1 oz. <http://www.knivesplus.com/gerber-knife-gb-42773.html> and a 
longer one by Becker at 17.8 oz. 
<http://store.knifecenter.com/pgi-ProductSpec?CMBK6>. Watch out for the 
really cheap lightweight ones. They just make the blade thinner and they 
bend easily.
