Handle weight on identical knives

[Whelen Nut]

I'm looking at a classic lite hunter from bark river and they are all listed as 3.8oz but I watched a video of a guy weigh them (black micarta vs stag handle) and the stag one was 9gr heavier.

In general (there are obviously variations in wood) rating the 5 available categories which will be heaviest and which is lightest?

Linen micarta
Canvas micarta
G10
and then the various woods. Lets take the average weight of the hardwoods used.
And last the stag handled ones.

I'm also very interested in a wood handled one as they feel warmer when working in cold weather. Does stag also feel warm like wood or does it feel cold like micarta/g10?

Thanks

Well, first off, is 9 grams really enough to even be concerned about? There's 28 grams in an ounce, so the stag handle was 1/3 oz heavier. Trivial to me at best. YMMV

I've only had a couple of stag handled knives, but I think that they feel warmer to the hand than synthetic materials do.
