My brother has the G-10 Cara Cara and he likes almost everything about it except that it is a little heavy. I was looking at it and I think most of the weight is in the dual SS liners. Since it is all screw construction, I was thinking it wouldn't be too hard to remove the scales and drill the liners in a bunch of places that won't effect the strength too much. Would that be possible? I have never taken the scales off one of these so I am not sure if they are held on by epoxy as well as the screws.
If it is just screws, I think you could reduce the weight by as much as half an oz. It doesn't sound like much but it would help a little. He wears thin dress slacks most of the time and doesn't want the knife to make the pants hang funny.
I know a lot of you will say just get a different knife but he is very picky and hard to please. If he likes it but it is too heavy, the best thing to do is fix the weight issue if possible. This would probably void the warrenty however which would be a trade off.
