I have Bravo 1s in 3v and A2.

The A2 feels lighter than the 3v. I was told that the 3v is thicker towards the edge of the blade, and the tang is less skeletonized to balance out the heavier blade.

Does the S35vn have a solid or skeletonized tang?

Anyone have weight comparisons between the different Bravo 1s?
 
Do both Bravos have the same scale material? That could account for some of the weight difference. My Bravo in micarta is heavier than my Bravo in bocote. Both are identical A2. Also consider that no two are ground exactly the same.
Bravo 1 bocote 6.76 oz
Bravo 1 micarta 7.96 oz
 
The 3v is micarta and the A2 is G10.

I believe G10 is heavier than micarta.

I have seen a picture of the 3V tang and it is mostly solid, with a small section removed. The A2 is almost fully skeletonized, with steel around the handle pins but not much more.

Very curious what the S35VN tang looks like.
 
I just called BRKT and they told me that the S35VN is skeletonized similar to the 3V model, but slightly different for their identification purposes. Balance and weight should be identical between the two.
