Light weight WWII?

[bennyjenkins]

Just received a beauty of an 18" WWII by Kumar. I love the shape and versatility of the blade, but it could be a wee bit more lively in the hand. At 29oz, it's on the lighter side of the ones I've seen, but it got me thinking. Anyone out there have a lighter weight WWII?

This one by Sher Kami is 19" OAL and weighs only 25 oz.

The blade is 12.5" long from tip to tang. Admittedly, the handle might be too narrow for most people.

I have a 21oz 16.5" WWII. It's one my best choppers.

For sale a few days ago there was an 18" 24 ounce one for sale that sorely tempted me.
