Yeah, it was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done with a saber...

The tip broke off of my Ultra Edge blade, but it wasn't due to jabbing, not sure what did it though (it was really cold, which leads me to believe it got kind of brittle). Anyways for any duelist out there GET THE HGUE BLADES, it is so worth the extra 10$
My little brother has seemed to master the art of knuckle hits, it's the reason I wear gloves a majority of the time, but your blade won't break as a result of it, but when dueling try to only touch them and hold it there so they acknowledge you've hit them, I'm sure they'd be more willing to die like that.
The weight difference is also pretty big, in Haidong Gumdo we do rolls, jumps, and literally thousands of cuts in an hour long class with a 6 pound sword, it may not seem like a lot to avid martial artists but imagine being a 16 year old at 5' 2" and 100 pounds. To compensate (if you must) go ahead with your plan of filling the hilt with dead weight be careful it doesn't slide around to damage the circuitry, the blade though I don't advise tampering with.

Sometimes if you hit the saber at just the right spot, the tip will break off. Think of constantly hitting your US against the ground right where the tip is. Since the tip is attached to the blade, it doesnt have the strength of the entire blade. It still take a lot of damage though and pretty good repetive hits to the same spot to take the tip off. The weighted training is a good idea. Makes the saber a whole lot easier to wield once you get your hands back onto it. I was thinking, if not the hilt, what about some wrist weights so you wont damage the interior of the hilt?

Thrusting? Oh, man... I SERIOUSLY don't recommend thrusting, unless you have sufficient protective equipment and training.
THRUSTING strikes are VERY dangerous; it's why most (if not all) kendo schools abstain from teaching thrust strikes ("tsuki") to beginners, and usually reserve such techniques for more advanced students.
Accidentally "walking" into a thrust strike can cause serious or even fatal injury.
I'm just sayin'...
