I can't help you on the weight variations with different materials, but my linen micarta:
Vexillarius = 5.25 ounces; .14” thick; 3.75” blade (from front of choil); 8.25” oal
It is pretty light-weight for micarta.
And I LOVE that subtle two tone linen.
Thought you might want me to dump my pics here on this thread for you :
I don't usually get good quality pics. But, sometimes get "Lucky".
Various in hand angles:
The Vex was a bargain at $99.00. They seem to be selling on the forums for around $120 - $140.
I wouldn't try to mess around too much. I think that is still a good price. Just figure out the scales you want, keep an eye on the trade forums and do the deal.
There were not enough of these made to mess around.
I hope they make more. As I think MANY people will be wanting this knife over the years and prices will likely go up. Buy now!
I WISH I could have afforded a spare. But, funds are too tight right now for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
