Harbor Freight has a Japanese Flush Cut Saw with 6.25" blade for only $6.99. I'll have to put mine on the scale but from what I hear they are just over 2 oz.

That being said, I've bent the crap out of mine and it's easy to put back into shape.
I wish I could find one just a bit thicker, but a couple inches shorter, for about the same wt, it'd be a beast.
