Oz man, you and I would loose that bet
I was expecting weight too, but nope, they almost balance to the tang...
The ends (wedge and pivot) are soild but the rest is a thin thin pounded metal the very edges are slightly thicker too... I would guess some type of engraved steel stamp that the scales are beat onto somehow, maybe John/Shutterbug knows how they were done...
