Offensive Calculations:
176 Atk Life Orb Weavile Low Kick (80 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Kangaskhan: 130-153 (71.8 - 84.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
176 Atk Life Orb Weavile Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 94-112 (56.2 - 67%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
176 Atk Life Orb Weavile Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Garchomp: 177-218 (49.5 - 61%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO

Summary:
Weavile isn't the best physical sweeper in the meta, but he's worth a shot if you don't like gimmick Pokemon. He's one of the rare physical ice type sweepers so try to use him against a special wall. Use knock off on Pokemon who are nothing without their held items like Gliscor. Use low kick on heavy, tanking threats like Mega Kangaskhan. To me, Weavile is the underdog of glass cannons and he's an asset to every VGC team.

Checks and Counters:
If Weavile is giving you a hard time then any fighting type in the meta could OHKO it.

Why invest EVs into HP, Weavile is a glass cannon so it should be hitting hard without focusing on surviving attacks? Weavile is the fastest Fake Out user in the meta game so why run Protect over Fake Out?

252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Icicle Crash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Garchomp: 317-380 (172.2 - 206.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
-1 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Icicle Crash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Landorus-T: 265-312 (160.6 - 189%) -- guaranteed OHKO
-1 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Icicle Crash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Salamence: 192-234 (112.2 - 136.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Great build. I just wish that you would explain why you chose that EV spread
