What is the weight of this knife? I just bought it for someone, and he says it's too heavy. To find a replacement knife I need this one's weight.

This knife weighs 6-1/2 ounces. I don't feel as if it weighs to much, I also pack 1 lb. 2-1/2 ounces of keys in my pockets. No I am not the County Jailer or the School Janitor, my employment forces me to pack so many keys.

I'd say 6-7 oz. The fisherman model might be better suited, if weight is a concern. I've had the Fisherman model since 1984, and the Champ has everything the Fisherman model has, AND everything else I've come to want over the last 29 years of using it! :D It IS a much larger knife, so the Fisherman might be a better choice if weight is an issue, IMHO.

Good weight. Nice and heavy. Great blade and feel. This is the real deal. I am glad I bought it. This is a awesome knife.You should buy one and see for yourself.

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

Gerber webpage advises 24.28 oz. (including the Sheath) and 11.67 oz. (is the knife weight) I can tell you this is a heavy knife compared to others, the blade is thick, but it's weight is intentional it gives you more power, the Sheat is also a little heavy.

I am pretty sure they stopped making the older models. I couldn't find the older ones anyway. This one does have more power and is a very good knife. I think it is expensive but still a great knife.

I have not been able to find a replacement sheath for this or any other knife that I have bought on amazon. My recommendation is to contact the manufacturer directly. Your only other option is to do as I have and get the necessary materials and make your own.

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

Boyfriend, this knife WILL be your OFFICIAL GO TO knife! Meats, veggies, a watermelon, even soft fresh bread cuts like butter. Please remember to use your knife steel after a good amount of use like I do and it will continue to impress you. For a long time my go to was the Forschner Victorinox, suggested by Cook's Illustrated.....I think the Wusthof Nakiri has it beat big time. Hope you love it like I do!

I would send a picture to JA Henckels and see if they can sell you the knife or Google JA Henckels and find out who sells them...thats the best I can do to help you....oh if you can check thrift shops!

Want to say it's close to half a pound. It's pretty heavy. Much heavier than my other cold steel knives of the same size.

Dennis, I shopped around for this knife and found the price on Amazon to be the best. I have never had trouble with any purchases being anything less than new at Amazon and this knife was no exception. In my original review of the knife I commented about the price and value and I would purchase this again as it is a high quality knife and it has become one of most favorite things. It is worth the money in my humble opinion. Best to you, Chris

I bought one from them, it shipped fast and didnt have any problems with it. Good knife but if i had to buy another one it woukd be the one without the double ...opener flick things at the bottom of the blade. Its too wide and scratches your hand when you put it in your pocket.

If you need a thin knife, perhaps take a look at the Kershaw Ken Onion. It is a frame lock knife which has no scales on it at all, and one of my favorite pocketknives.

Same thing happened to me. I called Victorinox and they unconvincingly told me it is the same knife just with a different SKU#. I am a little upset because I bought the 47520 because it had German Forschner blade and here it shows up with a Swiss blade and no Forschner logo. Not sure how I am going to proceed. Have you used yours yet? What do you think?Victorinox 47520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Lloyd, all I can tell you is that the blade on this 4 inch knife is very flimsy. I can't comment on the 3.25 inch knife, as I do not own it.Chances are, the price should be an indicator.
