Regarding the inserts in the handle, for some reason I immediately thought that you did this due to technical limitations, but since every blade has it, it already resembles a corporate style.Wow, 13-16g means I have to save 50%!
I had a handle that thin I could easily bend the surface down with a fingertip.
So my blades usually come out at 62-70g for normal headsize without the handle mounted- with the weight you mentioned the resulting blades are even at the lower end of the weight skala I think.
Do you use that glue also for fiber reinforced layers?
I have this glue for the handles and the layers without fiber:

Regarding the weight of the handles. I also ordered pens from AliExpress and their weight was 25 grams, so the weight of your pens is within normal limits. A super light handle is not always good, because the balance of the blade is very important. If you make the handle too light, the balance will shift into the blade and will be difficult to play with brush.
