Yeah, reason I ask is because I have an original Starmate and seldom carry it. The originals were much lighter than the new ones due to addition of full liners, so mine is still light for its size, but length is up there and mostly unneeded for me daily...
So, we all know the Vallotton has looks going for it, and I love that (seeing everyones photos), but reading input here brings up the question of heft of the Vallotton, along with length and whether or not I want to justify picking one up before some other blades I have my eye on instead. The double bevel, for example, has been intriguing me just to see if it really is a usable "best of both worlds" for the grind...
