weight of Buck folding alpha hunter?

[daryl douthat]

I haven't seen one of these yet but note that people refer to them as being heavy. What is the actual weight? (Haven't been able to find that in the published specs.)

The size and blade shape certainly look good to me for my uses. Are they showing up in stores yet?

Here's a page that lists the weights of the various models. The Alpha Hunters are about halfway down the page.

It's heavier than you want it to in a knife of that size.
I've seen a couple in the store and they have blade play in both direction.

If you mean the folder, then it's quite heavy-heavier than I would want in a knife. Nevertheless it is selling very well and we haven't had a single return so others have a different set of standards for carry weight than I do, I guess.
