I love little (3'ish inches or less), light (3 oz or less) knives, but prefer to carry a variety of blade shapes, for the added utility.

I wear them in a distributed fashion, so the pocket burden is not too great.

Combined, I have 12.32 oz of knives on me (using published weights, not including sheaths).

How many total Oz of knife do you carry?
 
Well today I have maybe 42 oz. No, not 4.2;)
I've got a 9ish oz Leatherman and little Tops Ferret in my pocket. I am doing a bit of demo/kindling collecting in the back yard, so I have a 15" overall length bowie sporting a 9+" blade and about 3/8" thick on my hip.

Usually it's under 12oz. The Leatherman and a large Inkosi. The Himalayan Imports Ang Khola Bowie is more fun, though.
 
Usually carry two SAL, a rambler on the keychain and an Alox bantam in the pocket organizer. Together they weight something like 1.3 oz

I usually carry a small inkosi at 2.9oz , so it is about 4.2 oz for the most part of my time

however when I want some fun and carry larger blades as a main EDC I may go up to 6-8 oz - for example when I go for an XM-18 or a ZT
 
I carry a large Crk and a Alox electrician every day. Roughly 5 ounces and 2.5 ounces I believe, could be wrong. So about 7.5 each day
 
I usually carry one knife at a time. I sometimes carry a multitool with a blade but I'm not sure that counts. Anyway, here are the weights on my most-carried knives for the year:

5.22 oz - Civivi Naja
4.16 oz - Bestech Spike
3.89 oz - Kubey KU207
2.96 oz - Kershaw Dividend (M390)
1.90 oz - Kershaw Fraxion (clip removed)

The Naja is the heaviest but it carries well for its size due to the shape and clip placement. The Fraxion is wonderfully light. I didn't care for the clip but that works out. The detent is strong enough for loose pocket carry. Now, the Fraxion is my favorite flannel shirt or PJ carry despite being 8Cr13Mov. (I really wish they'd do a premium steel version of the Fraxion.)
 
Just got back from the store, today's EDC, 59.2 Oz, 3.7 lbs of stuff.

2.7 Mini grip
10.3 Leatherman Core
3.5 SAK
2.0 Flashlight
4.2 Cold Steel Code 4
6.2 Extra mag
30.3 9mm pistol
Thats what's on the belt, and front pockets, then keys, phone and wallet in pockets or coat.
 
I prefer lighter knives. That's not to say that I don't have any chunkers, but not many and they don't see as much pocket time.

Today, Kershaw Launch 8 @ 2.4 oz.
Yesterday, Hogue Exploit OTF @ 4 oz.

I'm on vacation, and those are the only two I have with me.

Heaviest folder I have:
ZT 0095S90BLK @ 5.30 oz.
 
I've never cared too much about weight. As long as it carries well, I'm fine with it. Today it was 2 knives and 9 oz. total, 2.9 oz. for an Olamic Busker and 6.1 oz. for a Strider SMF.
