Out of the box mine needed a little bit of work. It shaved, but not quite as well as I wanted it to. But who else to hone up the 14 EPBD but Mad Max? Now mine is in a league of its own.

(I have the brown one with the muted square point)
Well, I have to say that I didn't find the EPBD that heavy, it is lighter than most 7/8 - 8/8 I've used.

I've opened and honed at least a dozen of these and out of the plastic pouch, these won't shave properly. They hone pretty fast and easy.
