according to you did one day
we will have the chance to see
a M43 with rat tail tang
like Mr Bura had make several time ago.

I love this khuk and I never have the chance
to buy one on the last good deal's of Mr martino.
 
In the past, Bura has made a variation of the M43 that has a partial rat-tail tang. Unlike most other HI khuks, the tang doesn't go through the butt-cap at the end of the handle. Bura's version also has a bit more curve than the standard M43.

Pictures of both types are up on the HI website:

The top two are standard M43s, the third is Bura's.

Hope this helps.
 
AKA the "Bura Boomerang", though the current model may be slightly different from the boomerang.

It's interesting to me that Bura puts such a sharp bend in the blade. I'm wondering if he's showing off his skill - making that rather than a more gradual curve, or if he thinks it's more effective that way. ???
