Cool. What’s it weigh naked?
Oh, and how thick were the original scales from BUSSE? (If you have some way of measuring?)
Thanks!

OK, here it is:

Naked knife is 11.39oz (323.1g) and 0.355" (9.01mm) thick.

The pair of scales weigh 1.67oz (47.5g) and each measures 0.259" (6.58mm) thick at its thickest point.

I forgot to weigh the knife before drilling the tube rivets out, but my other black canvas micarta one weighs 13.26oz (376.3g), which is 0.2oz (5.7g) heavier than the remainder of the maroon micarta knife. That puts each tube fastener at ~1.9g apiece.
