Well, I was finishing up a flower bed in the yard after work yesterday, and I needed to add some manure to the soil. I had some bags of steer manure sitting there, and I decided to open them with my M43 just to see how it would slice open the plastic. I took a big full force swing at the bag and laid it right open. I set the khuk aside because I didn't want to resheath it with manure on the blade. After I finished, I picked it up and went inside to wash it off. As I was washing it, I noticed two big dings in the blade. One was about 1cm long and had actually pushed the metal out to the side of the edge a bit. I managed to hammer the ding out gently and then filed the damaged spots and resharpened the blade. You can't even tell where the damage was. There must have been some pebbles or other hard material in the manure-- makes sense--they probably scoop it up with a loader and end up with all kinds of foreign objects in there :rolleyes: God, you can't even get clean poo these days.

Just goes to show you should be careful with whatever you are cutting. Think about the possibility of unseen hard objects in what you are cutting, like rocks in a bag of BS.

LOL - We just moved into our new house and they delivered the sofa the first day. I wanted to see how my khuk cut plastic too and sliced the plastic bag open with my M43 - sliced clean through the plastic ........ and the material covering on the underside of the sofa. ooops !! :eek:


Luck thing is that they actually delivered the wrong sofa so they had to change it - I didn't tell them about my mishap !!

:rolleyes:

Hope Karma doesn't bite me in the ass..

:p

Ben-- you're right, the little picture down at the bottom of his posts does say shovelling, not cutting. I should pay more attention to these things.:)

Josh, you need to get one of those animations, but swinging a khuk...I think it would be hysterical.

Naaaw, Two Dogs oughta have an animation like that. Showing him cutting open the bottom of his couch.:rolleyes: :D

Karma does come around.:p :p

It can be pretty rough when you go cow pie sliding like some of the back country kids used/still do?
You never know what's gonna be embedded in them.:eek:

All the back country kids do know to stand way back from a double endowed cow pissin' on a flat rock though.;) :rolleyes: :p

Yep, still shovelin.:)
 
Yvsa, thanks for the grin. You've got a great sense of humor.

Ben

I would like to see what the animation you suggested looks like, though.
 
LOL - I felt really guilty by not telling them, it was the dark side !!

:(

Hope my good side prevails and karma only pecks me instead of really biting me in the ass !!
