How much does just the blade weigh and does it still come with a kydex sheath?

I NEVER respond to these questions, but this knife warrants a word. The blade weighs a little under 6 ounces. It feels like an extension of your hand as if you are holding nothing at all. If you know how to use a knife (I mean you have been combat trained) you do not need anything else but this blade. I recommend sharpening the swedge for a back cut (I did mine). The finger choil is genius and the ergonomics and jimping make the knife virtually "un-droppable". The knife comes with a kydex sheeth and a belt clip that can be configured in nearly any carry style. On that note - I carry mine with the sheath clipped to the inside of my pants. The knife has an incredibly low signature when carried outside your pants, but is undetectable when wearing it inside the trousers. The design of the knife makes it "hang" proof when drawing it quickly. It is a perfect self defense weapon. I bought one for each of my daughters, who I trained to use a knife when they were quite young. It is the only defense knife I recommend for a woman. Sorry to be so long winded, but I cannot say enough good things about this knife. Hope this helps.

What knid of steel? And I realize it's virtually impossible that it isn't being a Spyderco, but full tang?

This knife is vg10 blade steel, as are most spyderco's. Believe it or not this knife is not full tang. The tang extends approximately 3/4 of the way into the handle, and has protrusions to prevent the blade from coming out of the handle. My only complaints with the knife are that the blade coating seems to come off a little too easily, and I had to re-bevel the blade, as it came a little too high angle for my tastes, and very dull by spyderco standards.

What is the blade thickness?

I believe it’s one eighth inch. It’s full ground and very lightweight, which is what I like about it. Very fast blade, very good multipurpose knife, even food prep.

DOes this knife have a full tang? The other (more expensive) SS version states it does but not this one.

I don't think it does. I think the tang is about 2/3rds the length of the handle. However, the handle is molded over the tang and is not removable, so it is hard to confirm. The back of the handle has what appears to be the back edge of the tang visible, but it only appears to extend about 2/3rds of the length of the handle. I really like this knife and recommend it as an urban concealed knife. Good feel to the grip. Very light and quick.. Nice balance!
