Anyway, even at a mere 2-3x the weight, I still think that you can't just pick it up and handle it the same as the shinai.

Of course not, I was just being persnickety.

But I did see Haga-sensei demonstrate an effortless kote-style cut on newspaper years ago. Think he was using his iaito though...
