The M-43 has actually seen a bit of use. It is always cleaned, rubbed with a metal polish if needed and then coated with mineral oil after use.

Nice to see so many in a row. Thank you.
Makes it easier to compare.
What are their names and who are their daddies? (I already know what the daddies do [Kami])

For a fighter, I like #3. For a chopper, I like #4, the M-43. The #6, the Salyan, is my newest one and I have not used it much yet but I like the way it handles. For me, maybe better than the AK.
 
I held one of those HI Princes at aunties. The handle was extremely ornate. Very beautiful. You took an excellent picture but seeing it in hand knocks your socks off. Tremendous amount of effort in that blade and beautifully done.

I'm just a little bit jealous and I'm generally not a jealous man.
 
Black horn on them Kobras looks really good! No.3 is especially nice (18"-17oz):thumbup:! Like the beefy M43's. Recently there have been some 15' ones that would be cool if your having to carry but but i like the big uns!
 
This is a pic of the first time I used the M-43. Right out of the box. I did not sharpen it. If I recall correctly, those branches are pine and about 2" thick. The short lengths under the knife were cut through without using much force at all. So I decided to see what would happen while using minimal force- just about using the weight of the knife. The knife went through half of the branch. Quite a good performance.
