The Sunday Picture Show (June 18th, 2023)

Thanks Roger for doing the Sunday Picture Show. Continuing the discussion of using lighter knives so you can carry more of them at the same time. I previously mentioned cored scales and skinny knives.
Today it’s materials. White and yellow brass scales are the heaviest. Silver and Nickel are mostly gone from German Silver. Brass is a mixture of Copper and Zinc. The knives in the left column weigh about 7 oz. (30gm/oz). Titanium is 40% lighter than brass. Middle knife is 5oz. Aluminum is 66% lighter than brass. The Al and wood knife is heavier than the all Al knife because it is thicker. Both are around 4oz. The Valox Selector is about 3oz. Further reductions are possible using Titanium blades and skeletonized handles.View attachment 2222999
