Tora makes History come alive in its creations.
Tora Blades puts History into each of its creations. In this respect Tora Blades eclipses the competition. Himalayan Imports is either unwilling or unable to create Historically authentic blades.
Now, I'm not about to say that the Himalayan Imports M-43 bests similar models from competing companies. Or that it falls short of the models from Tora Blades. It is what it is. The M-43 performs exceptionally well at chopping down big trees and cutting large logs almost as fast and effectively as an axe.
The historical M-43 was actually a later version of the Mk2 used during the World Wars. The military M-43's and MK2's had much thinner blades than the Himalayan Imports versions and were normally about 10 ounces lighter in weight. The HI M-43 is a leviathan in comparison. So, as a battle blade the Tora Blades Mark I outperforms the Himalayan Imports competition.
