[SOLVED] Need help to ID M43 by Thamar w/ fylflot swastika

snowwolf · Jun 11, 2016

Hi guys,

I have this beauty that I can't trace back who and what. Help

My wild guess Thamar M43 or Allround
OAL ~15 Inch and little shy of 1/2 inch thick

Yup, looks like you nailed the model and kami correctly to me

Thanks Mat but a M43 or Allround?

M43. The pinned handle and blade shape are pretty distinctive

Many thanks

No problem. Take a look at the recent thread "lightweight 43" there are some great photos of the m43 design.

IMHO M43 is one of my favorite models

I agree that it's an M43, but the spine is a little more angular than most (where the blade begins its downward curve). You can see the difference compared with the pics in the recent thread "lightweight 43". Still, it's well within the normal specs for an M43.

One thing for sure, this one does not qualify as lightweight with its 1/2 Inch spine. That's an heavy 15 Inch.

Yeah I have a similar one. Mine is a 15 inch 29 oz by Yuvraj. Love it, but it's a beast.
