Looks like a cheese slicer.

Anyone know what it weighs?

Cheese slicer? Maybe if you look at it long enough.... sometimes it's hard for people to break out of the "box tubing" and recognize innovation when they see it.

I know what it weighs.

Are you going to use this innovative technique and get rid of the box tubing on your other products too? I'm not against change, just curious.

How much does this weigh compared to one of your other drop members?

I know Nate said it was close to the same, maybe slightly lighter than the V3. I think it looks beefy as hell and that is what I'm all about. I like the tube version of the DM, but the OG version and this version are my favorite.

The OG version with the boxed steel is just pure handmade craftsmanship and an amazing bit of engineering on Nate's part years ahead of everyone else. I love the industrial look of the latests version.
