Knives weights

Is the wiki info incorrect about the weight of knives? I could not see anything in the news.txt that suggests weight were changed.

Most knives are listed in the wiki as being one or two pounds, the knives I have are between 110 gm and 140 gm which would be about 0.2 pounds. Could this be a conversion to metric error? These weight are for vanilla game knives as well as mod produced ones, a mod produced broad knife uses 400 grams of iron plus the handle but only weight 140 gm when finished as it takes the statistics of the vanilla broad knife.

The wiki is incorrect about a LOT, due to infrequent updating. It's fan maintained.

Knives are in the 0.25 to 0.4 pound rangeother than the Skramasaksi (a combat knife) which is 1.2 pounds.

Thanks, your numbers seem in line with my thoughts. This leads to another question. Using BAC a one pound iron bloom makes three wrought billets each of half a pound, so more out than in. Small knife blades need an iron billet to make a knife of 0.2 pounds so a lot of iron loss, large blades use double and weigh double and adding a handle to make a knife seems to round the weight down.
