Can't verify, and I'm obviously not Sal, but that's the weight shown in the 2014 catalog. It does seem light, but I see two possibilities. Either Spyderco's listed weight is incorrect, and BHQ simply posted the information they were given, or the handle is unlined G-10 like the original UKPK and the Urban. UKPK only weighed 2.4, so I'm thinking that, in spite of the somewhat more complex lock work, the considerably narrower blade and handle plus the possibly thinner blade could make 1.9 oz possible without the weight of steel liners. OTOH, Mr Blonde's proto photos from last year show liners, and it wouldn't be the first time an error crept into factory specs, so I wouldn't rule that out.Evil D wrote:Anything? I was just looking at some pics, and I am so **** excited for this knife. Blade HQ lists this thing as weighing 1.9oz....Sal can you or anyone else verify? That is nice and light for a 2.45 inches of cutting edge. The only thing I noticed that I'm a little bummed out on is the pinned construction in the handle, as I would like to be able to easily make scales for this.
Large Kiwi G10 ETA?
