Okay... the universe is lining up. Just became JK Proud Supporter #88, ViKtim #8 is available, and John is taking orders for August. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is. Email inbound John.

Sounds like it was fate! Congrats!
Nice! The viKtim is the Charles Bronson of JK Knives - ruggedly handsome!

Hey all th Viktim has arrived! first impressios: Holly heck!
don't suppose theres a "being so damn nice" discount available is there?
I'm starting to regret my decision to be this poor,
Honestly the viktim is bigger then anything else I've got, I'm a smaller knife guy anyway but even my two "big" knives (the Pot plus and Hiker) don't compare. This is broader and down right meaner the both of them. Reminds me of a time when o one had to think bout legal limits where they lived and when knife really was expected to do everything. Having said that it is remarkably comfortable in hand, shockingly so, and despite it's sense of heavy duty plus, it's easy to see how this could be a "one knife" (...to rule them all, sorry could' resist) kind of tool.
I'd just about decided I would't order a Viktim, limited run or not, I could get other things, other jks for that money that I have anted for longer, and could use more often then beast can be used in this modern world we live in. My first impressions have shaken that conviction some what.
The first test has already been completed, no pics I'm afraid. Test 1: can the JK sheath stand up to a 10 board and hungry 10 month old. So far so good.
I had to just go rescue that sheath, the knife is no where near BTW. The previous reviewer has put a great and shinny edge on this thing. Time to see if I can't get it a bit dull.
see ya,

see ya,
I received mine last week, and I'll second this assessment- it's a large knife, but very comfortable in the hand for its size. It's perfect for batoning kindling and other camping stuff. Definitely the most stout knife I have at this point. feels like it could easily be serving someone quite well 150 years from now. Thanks again John 
Just recieved mine today, and all I can say is WOW! I loved my JK hiker and thought it would always be my most used knife. WRONG. As great as that knife is, and I promise to play with it on occasion, this Knife is pure solid strength, cuts like a light saber, and somehow keeps a smile on your face you can't get rid of. REally, this knife is amazing! Thank you John.
