What’s the heaviest folding knife you carry?

[el gigantor]

This week I finally decided to start carrying my Hinderer XM-24. At 7.8oz it’s easily the heaviest folder in my rotation. What’s yours?

 

[oldmanwilly]

Cold Steel Bush Ranger, Recon 1, and/or Talwar (4"), all of which are under 6oz. None are particularly heavy compared to many other popular folders, but I find they are at the upper limit of what I will tolerate in terms of weight and bulk. If I need something bigger or beefier I'll just carry a fixed blade of some kind.

Probably a Hinderer XM-18 which would be less than your XM-24 you listed.

 

[Arathol]

Artisan Proponent, 17oz.......

Its clipped in the right pocket of my M65 right now.

 

[David Mary]

Anything over .75 oz per inch of overall length and I wouldn’t carry it.

 

[Red_Mist]

Spyderco Vallotton.

Cold Steel 4Max Scout is the heaviest folding knife I carry. It's not bad when I'm wearing jeans or cargo pants, but I wouldn't carry it wearing thinner pants.

Assuming "one-day novelty carry" doesn't apply, my heaviest folder that saw real pocket time was a Hinderer XM-24.

That knife is long gone, though, and these days I've been trending lighter. Currently it's a CRK Inkosi at 5 oz.

I'd guess my AD-10 without weighing it

Buck Custom Shop 110: elk grips, nickel silver bolster and Magnacut.

Copper be heavy

 

[Ron Texas]

5.3 ounces. My sense of things is I don't want to go heavier.

Holy Moly!! Over a pound?! How thick it that thing?

Its not the thickness. The handle slabs are solid copper.....copper is heavy.

 

[Whisperstealth]

Cold Steel AD10. My BM Adamas would be next.

Copper is beautiful and I’d love to have a knife with it as scales, or brass. Too heavy though. Wouldn’t carry it if I owned it.

I have a small handful in copper, brass and bronze. I dont ever carry them. thats why i didnt pick them. I like them for my collection but not for carry.
