Update: finally got my whole pocket kit under 8 ounces after 6 months of trying
A guy at the Tacoma knife show told me last spring that anything over half a pound in your pockets just means you're carrying stuff you don't actually use, and I blew him off at the time. Weighed everything this morning and I'm at 7.8 ounces with knife, light, and pen, so what's the one item you refuse to leave the house without even if it adds weight?
