Lightest folder for its size?

By far the lightest "large" folding knife (large being longer than 3 1/8" blade) with a metal handle I know of is the William Henry B15-T Quest. 3.25" ZDP blade, titanium handle, 1.6 oz. This one is the lightest metal handled knives I know of with a 3.25 blade. Definitely not in the cheap category, however. http://www.williamhenryknives.com/product/pocket/titan-ii/b15-ft-ii.html

The out of production Calypso Jr. would be a good choice also; definitely cheaper and probably easier to find. The ZDP Calypso Jr would be a great find.

For current production, I think the Spyderco Centofante 3 would be a great choice.

Sadly WH doesnt make the quest anymore but they do still make the B12-TZ which is the slightly smaller version with a 3" blade. It is definitely the lightest knife that I own.

That Buck/Mayo 172 is beautiful. The 2.63" S30V bladed little brother, the 171, weighs a whopping 1.8 oz. They look great, too, with their lightening holed Ti sides. The 3.1" S30V bladed Buck/Mayo 151 neck knife, with lightening holes, weighs 1.9 oz. Hard to get much lighter. I had the 151 - not my cup-of-tea, a neck knife, that is. Gave it to a contractor sandbox-bound. I want a 172... poor man's Sebbie?? Naw, a poor man wouldn't have the $200+! Guess my Native will have to do...

I had a benchmade skirmish and if I recall correctly I was amazed at how light that gigantic folder was.
