Does anyone know the weight of the actual knife? (not shipping weight). Thank you.

I don't know the exact weight; but I'd be surprised if it was much more than 4 ounces.

I'm not real sure how thick the blade is at its thickest, but the blade is hefty enough to do most camp chores. I believer the knife weighs in at just under a pound 14.5-15oz. Heavy enough, but not to heavy, holds the edge well, wouldn't be afraid to really get into it with this blade if the SHTF.

Not sure of the exact thickness of the blade but if you're worried abut the blade being flimsy don't be, this is the real deal. The tip or point is not fragile, in fact there is nothing fragile about this knife whatsoever, go ahead and buy with peace of mind.

I weighed it at 5oz with the blister pack. When I ship I round up to 8oz for the carton and packing. Dave's Knives

I believe it's about 3/4" thick. It has a good weight. I bought two. Not a bad blade, and opens great. I didn't pay attention to the screws, on the first knife, and it fell apart. The faux wood handle fell off too. Still, if you perform regular checks, and tighten the screw as needed, the knife should last. Again, the blade nice.

This is a really good, solid, made-in-USA knife. The knife weighs 15 oz. The sheath weighs 7 oz. 22 oz. total. Bob

Definitely not heavy, quite light actually. My 4' 8" Japanese chef loves her 8", but you can get a 10" also. It's pretty comparable to other Japanese knives that come in at twice the price. -Jeff in Clearwater, FL

According to Kabar.com, this knife weighs .95 lbs, so the key word in the description is "heavy". I like the heft.

Hey Chris,I don't have a small scale to determine what the weight is but it's just such a small knife, it's pretty light. Not sure how many ounces it would be but it's lighter then a can soda or beer(non-40ounce). I hope that helped some.Mark

It's about 2.5 pounds, box and all (blades, handle). It says it's "18/10 stainless still construction', whatever that means. It is sturdy. It's like the one we had growing up (in the 60's). I use mine to make tomato puree (pass cooked tomatoes through it). I really like mine. One of the best purchases I've made.

I'm not sure about the weight, I didn't weigh it. I honestly don't wear it much. The knife isn't really that sharp. I'd recommend a regular folding pocket knife if you want to carry something around. This knife would be good for stabbing if anything.

Mine arrived as a complete full tang 154cm all the way and is an outstanding knife. Please watch for order slip ups though as some of Us received the serrated version as opposed to the straight edge that We ordered (or vice versa). Even with this I could not part with it for an exchange so will probably be adding another to the collection instead!

It is light but I don't know the exact weight. I am sure that you could Google it or check Kershaw's site.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.

On 7-25-2014, my just delivered and out of the box weigh-in shows the knife at an even 5 oz, and the sheath at .9 oz including the paracord. This matches very closely to the manufactures web site showing the knife (only) is .31 pounds, or 4.96 oz. Total for knife, sheath (with paracord) 5.9 oz.

Mine arrived in a cardboard box, about 6"x6", in shredded newspaper. The cuttings were among the paper. No idea of the weight.

It's a pretty light knife. I'd say look into another brand/model for a heavier knife. Higher price-point too, I suspect.
