According to my Harbor Freight digital scale, the weights are: TGLB = 15.8 ozs. TG = 19.75 ozs. 1/4 pound lighter! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The weight reduction means a LOT if you are carrying it for an extended time, such as hiking! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think that it's a good general-purpose knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nice PK! Mine has been sitting at the PO along with my bear cub; I haven't been able to pick em up yet  . I'll be grabbing them today if all goes to plan and I get outta work with enough time. Do you think the edge is robust enough for hard use with the hollow grind? I really can't wait to hear some user reports.

That is a nice weight savings, although I've never been one to worry about weight too much though... I can't imagine the grind will cause any issues, it's a very shallow hollow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
