I am wondering, how is this less than an inch shorter than the A1, but almost half the weight? I got the A1Z in the last drop for that, and I really do enjoy how nice and heavy it is, so I'm not sure if this one would be as fun.

TueraiBlade thickness: A1z=6mm, S1z=5mm Overall length: A1z=280mm, S1z=247mm Blade Length: A1z=160mm, S1z=130mm
That's a lot more steel.

TueraiThe A1 is 11" overall and has a .25" blade thickness while the S1 is 9.7" overall and has a .20" blade thickness. The A1 probably also has a little bit wider blade/tang. That is probably where most of the weight difference comes from. The S1 also has a different material and smaller handle, which might also contribute a little bit.
