    Ho Nick, no I didn't weigh it but it was like a feather.
    It was much more comfortable in hand than I thought it would be. I spent a fair amount of time rounding and softening all the edges. It also gives an option of wrapping the handle in paracord.
    An interesting build that is a very light and practical field knife.

    The old Svord bird and trout knife.

    Stag handle.

    Stupid me left it dirty in its sheath for a month as I thought I'd cleaned it. Doh!

    Bummer! Never leave carbon steel in its sheath long term, the leather holds moisture.

    That should clean up easy enough though.

    All thoughts of more knife purchasing put on hold until something becomes available in CPM-Magnacut that takes my fancy.

    Finished this little kitchen knife up for a swap. Nitro V and g10. Black and stainless always a classic combo.

    Just to add a Corolla to the Lamborghini's here.... Love the little NZ-made Victory Drop Point Hunter knives. This colour should make it harder for me to lose in the bush.... I'm definitely a function over form person...

    As an aside; I bought directly from Victory for $25 ($10 cheaper than anywhere else) plus $9,99 postage and overnight delivery.... It was delivered the following morning in a nice cardboard Victory box. Gotta give kudos for good service when it is deserved. It was only a single knife order; not an abattoir/freezing works big order
