Hey Gang! Just saw this double tang, Boker blade marked M3 on ebay. Item # 353126105707, with a Buy Now price of $349.99.  The blade stamp has been partially ground off , and the finish is a little rough. But the handle looks good, and there's no questioning who the maker was with the double tang. These can be hard to find, and the price is pretty good. It would fill that hole in the collection until you could upgrade. I do not know the seller. Just trying to point out a fair deal. Good Luck! Hope someone gets it from the forum. SKIP

Varangian-  Not really sure why it was done. Probably a method they used prior to M3 contract. Boker used it for a while, then switched at some point to a single tang, No doubt it complicated production. Western also used a double tang on their WW2 production knives, (not M3), but the knives they produced had leather washers almost in a rounded "H" shape, and the tops of the tangs were visible, and exposed to the elements.  SKIP.
