I had considered taking the knife to my MT43 to see how it works... but that sounds like a lot of work especially considering it has less than 1/2 tread left.

Been there and done that with the MT-43. Cutting a larger gap and having a crisp face does give the tire some added mud clearing and fresh bite but IMHO not worth the effort and once you remove some width from a well used MT-43 you can expect to see lugs failing soon after.
I have a friend that jumped thru hoops to bring a freeride stateside, I got a short ride on it this past weekend.....
One look at the rear tire and I wanted one.
If you find them being imported stateside please post up.
