I was watching some Knockout vids today because I have been very interested in it but then I find out that it weighs almost 60% more than the Skyline. I thought the benefit of the knife was the inset liner lock meant it didn't need a full length steel liner and therefore would be thinner and lighter.
The measurements are within 1/8 of an inch of eachother but the blade on the Knockout looks a little taller/thicker. Has anyone handled both? Is blade size the reason for the added weight?
I see the Echelon is going to come in at 2.6 ounces which is much closer to the Skyline and might be right there in terms of weight with the torsion spring removed.
