The M43 arrived Friday as I was leaving for Montana.  What a beauty!  The handle has a great palm swell that fits my hand perfectly, kinda like that SAA Rusty mentioned a few days ago.  This one will probably not want to twist in my hand like my other M43 with the slimmer handle.
Scabbard, karda and chakma are all first-rate.
I have not had time for a field test yet, I just got back into town an hour ago. This blade will need a good sharpening and honing prior to use, but it's an absolute winner.
