Oh not worried about swapping blades, I don't see how folks have a problem swapping blades with their hands its not really that hard and you don't really have to even get close to the cutting part of the blade to do it. Just wondering how you break the joints apart. My multitool is 4.5 oz...I know the benchmades are slightly less, but a havalon and a bench made isn't nearly as useful as a havalon and a multitool. The pliers on a multitool are handy for skinning out the heads of critter as you can really grip the hide when working between the horns/antlers I have found atleast and worth the extra 2-2.5 oz...for me atleast, but you've probably skinned out a lot more critters than me so I need the extra help of the pliers for skinning out the heads of the capes I save.
