I believe the edit is quite a bit lighter compared to the swamp warden. I have several wardens that I occasionally wear as a neck knife; they are not insubstantial little beasts.
The KaBar and the Boker are more along the lines of a last-ditch blade. I feel my wardens are just regular knives on a diet.
I have used my swamp wardens as utility knifes. I probably would not use my LDI or TDI in the same manner.
