Featherweight Knives

Benchmade 330 and Dragonfly2. Carried that 330 for about 15 years (then I got the Dragonfly2). I've been going over 2oz lately and the Chaparral or 940-1 have been getting a lot of light carry pocket time. I could take a pic of those two and it would still look like the same classic Spyderco vs Benchmade look as this pic... What can I say!

When I want to go ultra light, I like the Gerber LST. I have a couple, one over 20 years old, great little knife. Not sure of the weight but its less than 2 oz.
 
I'll broaden that to include practically the entire line of William Henry knives. The B12 Atlas, William Henry's largest and heaviest folder, weighs 2.0 ounces. There's even a Sebenza that weighs just a scant more than 2 ounces. It's the KnifeArt Exclusive Small Carbon Fiber Sebenza and it tips the scale at 2.3 ounces.

I just weighed my WH B12 Atlas and it weighs 2.32 ounces.
 
My lightest;


-Leatherman Style; 1.5oz
-Victorinox Bantam; 1.1oz
-ESEE Candiru; 2.0oz with the Micarta scales
-Benchmade 940-1; 2.4oz

The Style, though slightly heavier than the Bantam, is still my favorite keychain tool. It's not as bulky, and the bottle opener works better.
