My new M43 :)

AlinCT · Jan 23, 2015

Triangle box was just delivered to my door. Here's my new M43

About 18 1/2", blade is 3/8" thick. It's absolutely magnificent. The handle fits my hand like it was made for for it-like it was meant to be.

Auntie- thank you so very much. I don't know which kami made this, but thank you and bless you.

here's a comparison pic with my 17" Salyan Special

Sweet m43! They're wicked choppers, just took mine out to a felled, two year seasoned poplar that was around 8" thick and got it broken into three parts in around 10 minutes, they're one hellova workhorse.

Well you stumped me, oh was that a pun?

I don't recognize that mark but I'm sure in about two shakes of a lambs leg someone will be along that knows it.

Never fails, never ask about the ones I know, few as they may be.

Beautiful knife.

Id say Sher as well. Kinda hard to do the sun rays with a center punch i would guess. Beautiful blades. Did you say 3/4" thick

Wow! Beasty.

Bawanna · Jan 23, 2015

Yeah I'd say Sher. Dang you guys make me look soooo dumb sometimes.

I didn't think about the punch thingy. Without the rays, it don't look the same.

Sher is cool, good blade.

I'll go back to my cubicle now.

Whoops! My mistake- meant to type in 3/8"

Apologies for my error.

DarthTaco123 · Jan 23, 2015

I was almost hoping it was 3/4. That thing would be damn scary.

I was fixing to call ya a liar, but I didn't look forward to being called out to the street for gunplay.

3/4" is a very very rare occurence. Be wicked cool no doubt but still rare.

Still drop dead gorgeous I don't care how thick it is.

What's the weight on that puppy?

AlinCT · Jan 23, 2015

Bawana- I'm afraid of many things, but not afraid of admitting when I goof

It's perfect- I wouldn't want it to be any thicker than it is.

Thanks to all who where able to name the kami.

To Sher- god bless you!

I have no idea. If I were to take a guess, I'd say perfect

Bawanna · Jan 23, 2015

To admit ones errors is right proper and the right thing to do.

To be called a liar, now that's low and deserves to result in fisticuffs or physical altercation.

I'm so glad I didn't use haste and apply the liar logo on you. It was a simple goof, something I'm quite good at. (hey, finally something I'm good at) but not a lie.
