By popular demand ... well, mqqn wanted to see this anyway ... this will be a place to post pics of the Viktims. mqqn had the idea of having a thread devoted to the timeline of the viktims. i.e. from when they were babies, all the way through adulthood.
i thought it was a good idea, but this was good timing, because today i beat the ever-lovin-crap out of mine!
i have what i like to call an "English" garden in front of my house. there are very pretty wild flowers that come in, but the weeds have taken over. the gas line in my trimmer has rotted out, but the ... ummm ... flowers? ... are now almost 6' tall. time to do something. so, i put new gas lines on my trimmer today....only to find out it didn't work after anyway. i did end up getting a new cheapie electric trimmer (very impressed btw). BUT...the weeds were thick stemmed...tough going.
needless to say, i wasn't going to be defeated by flora, so i went in...me and the poor Viktim. i'll tell ya what...that thing kicked some organic ass.
i have posted this elsewhere, but i want to stay true to the spirit of this thread...here is my Viktim when it was first received....
[flicking a tear from the eye] Ain't she a beaut?!
Now, today...here is what the Viktim was up against....
after. it is really hard to tell looking at the pics, but i dragged three full armloads of stuff outa there, and the Viktim chopped almost all of it....
our work here is done. you can't see, but the garden is lined with rocks. and, of course, i probably bounced the Viktim off a rock about 10 times.
i was super impressed with how this knife just kept going through those weeds. now, i did get some chips in the blade from those rocks, but i spent a while this evening getting those out. all set. Viktim #7 reporting for duty...
let's see your Viktims gents.
