What is the weight of this knife? Also how easy is it to sharpen it considering so many edges?

not sure of exact weight, but weight is distributed very well! this knife is easy to sharpen it's no big deal! I would not hesitate to purchase this knife it is really really amazing actually! I wish I would have known of this company before I wasted money on others that were similar, some were more expensive, but none were built as well!!! I would want no other survival knive if it was the end of the world!

It's fairly sharp out of the box, but I'd recommend sharpening it yourself. The pivot on mine is a rivet not a screw. Its firm enough not to open in my pocket.

Yes, it is a bit heavier due to the weight of the walnut handle, but not by much. It stillhas the same relatively thin blade and feels light compared to most knives of this design.For a heavier knife with a thicker blade, I'd recommend the Mercer 8" Renaissance or Genesis in this price range..

Right out of the box it would have enough blade to widdle. I haven't had it long so I don't know how long it will stay sharp and I haven't tried to re-sharpen it yet to see what kind of edge it keeps or for how long.

The blade is pretty thick, I measured it to be about a eighth of an inch which is larger than all my other knifes. It is very sturdy, razor sharp, and hasn't let me down yet.

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

The blade is made of Krupp 1.4116 steel. This is a German steel and is very easy to sharpen. The steel is stainless and requires no extra maintenance or oil.

for as good as it keeps an edge it is easy to sharpen. If you have a big hand i recommend the 109 This is a small knife

Uh it's not very heavy, the design & trailpoint style makes it a good chopper for smaller things, it's no kukri though if u know what I mean. I bought this for my brother & he loves it. The length is very practical, the sheath is good, it also came with two different scales for the handle; one brown, one black. If u just want something heavier there is a larger version of this knife, bk5 I thinks it's called tho it looks bulky & cumbersome in my opinion but Im not a huge fan of BFKs (big f***** knife).

It is a nice Knife, heavy enough to do any cutting task, not terribly bulky or heavy either, the clip on mine is extremely snug when in my jeans almost to the point of hard to get out which is good so I don't have to worry about loosing it. On the other hand it is a bit hard to get out on the fly, but I your adrenaline is pumping you probably wouldn't even notice. It flips open and locks with authority and mine was razor sharp out of the box. Hope this was helpful.

I don't have an answer for this because I bought it as a Christmas gift. We don't have expensive knives either but the one we have has a smooth side and a rough side and my husband likes it real well. I don't know what this one has, it was just on my son-n-law's Christmas list.

This knife weights 6.6 ounces, a similar knife by "mighty Oak" weights 7.0 ounces. I absolutely love working with this knife. It is worth every penny you will pay for it. Be careful as it is very very sharp. It will slice a bagel by just pressing on it lightly. Hope this helps you.

not difficult at all. slightly push the button and instantly releases. I have had other knifes before and this is far the best one I have ever had and hopefully no need to purchase another.

My son is the chef and he says the knife holds it's edge well. Can't say you won't have to sharpen for two or three months because it depends on what you are cutting.

It's about 8 or so pounds altogether. Significantly lighter than a real katana.

If I remember correctly, it's in the 56-58 range. On the more practical side, I can say definitively this is tough steel with just enough flex to take some serious abuse. The edge sharpens easily but holds up well to carving, hacking, and batoning...though I would recommend using a machete or axe for such rough chores. A gentleman running a site (I believe) named Knife Tests did a destruction test on this series of Schrade and it outlasted the $300-400 Chris Reeve custom made knife the Schrades were patterned after. It finally broke when a 3-lb maul was uses to hammer the blade through a cinder block. The video may still be on YouTube, and I recommend giving it a look. That was test 7 or 8, by the way.

i have no way to weigh it but acording to what you might call heavy i think it is pretty light. nice knife. handle about right if you have small hands. to small if you have big hands. don't know if this helps or not. hopefully it does.
