Best 1 ounce knife?

[termiteslayer]

I was checking out William Henry stuff and came across this one ouncer - http://www.williamhenrystudio.com/product-detail.cfm?knife_id=18.

What other one ounce folding knives are comparable?
Any thoughts, pro or con, about this knife?

There's the SOG Flash 1 which weighs in at 34g (1.2oz).
I can highly recommend it, as it is fast (AO) and very compact.
Of course it is not as pretty as the one you linked

William Henry makes exquisite gent's folders. If that is what you are looking for, you won't find better.

Spyderco Bug.

Pros - a great knife no doubt
Cons - cost an arm & a leg!

I have a small Boker ceramic/titanium folder that weighs 1 oz and makes a great Sunday slicer.

I have a 2oz. William Henry. I figured the extra length (3 1/8" blade) was worth the extra weight. A very useful knife but no longer in production. The ZDP 189 blade really holds an edge.

Try A.G. Russell 2.5 Titanium Lockback Folder

Custom maker Yurco makes a few.

The WH Kestrel is a great little knife. If you like it and you can afford it you won't be unhappy with it. It'll disappear in your pocket and bring a smile to your face whenever you use it.

How about this one?

These are nice Al Mar knives.

Good Luck. Kevin

Spyderco makes the lady bug. It's about 0.6-oz.
Kind of small for most activities.
I think you won't find too much out there at the 1-oz weight limit for EDC. If you go 2 or 2.5 you will have far more selection.

I don't know what they weigh but for a light-weight, completely rust-free, edc, I've been using a colbalt-bladed, David Boye, Zytel-handled folder re-ground by Tom Krein for several years now and use it everyday.

The Buck/Mayo Waimea weighs a bit more than an ounce (1.8 oz.) but it's a great high quality lightweight folder.

Wow that is a sweet knife, might have to keep my eye out for one.

Can we get a picture or two of that one?

 

[viva la]

i have that one, and it's a great little knife

also have this one:

I would guess it is even lighter, it is def smaller

Someone mentioned the Spyderco Bug - my own experience is that it is too small to be useful. Same thing with the SOG Micron. The Spyderco Delica only weighs about 2 oz and is much more useful -- of course, it is no William Henry. A Chris Reeve Mnandi is a better comparison, but it weighs about 2 oz, as well.

Dang, that William Henry knife is nice for sure, love the pocket clip!

As kda89508 mentioned, Al Mar knives are excellent. With the Falcon Ultralight model you get 3 inches of blade for an overall weight of 1.2 ounces! Hard to beat that. They may not be as pretty as that William Henry, but I do think they are remarkably handsome in their own right.
