No moving parts on a rigid fork.
Steel fork, will be about the same.
Aluminum will be a tad lighter.
A carbon fiber fork, will be way lighter.
Carbon fiber forks: Ritchey, White Brothers, Niner, winwood, bontrager.
It's entirely possible to shed ~4.5#(give or take a pound and a few ounces.) by going to a rigid if it's carbon fiber.
