My wife doesn't understand why I love to flick open my CRKT M16-13Z. Flick flick flick. She sometimes sighs at me.

Anyway, it was near bedtime and she fell asleep on the couch. I teased her in the past if she would like to sleep with it....so I placed it by her head and went to do a few things before I woke her up.

When I got back it was near her mouth, and she drolled on it. Yuck. I cleaned it out real good before I woke her up.
 
I can top that one. My wife washed my $700.00 Bill Ankrom folder with Daryl Meier Damascus Bolsters and Devin Thomas Damascus Blade. Now Im trying to get the rust off the bolsters and redo the scales as the spacer material did weird stuff and has to be replaced.

I'm gettin' misty here! Those are most definately stories of woe. I wish both you and your knives the best of luck in future times.

A number of years ago when BM first introduced the Bugowski Spike I purchased one. To make a long story short one night after work I picked it up and thumbed it open and as it opened I could hear and feel that something was not right. I had not carried it that day so knew it was fine last night. I imediatly stripped it and found dirt in the pivot area. Needless to say I was goddamn perplexed as to where it came from. I cleaned it up and put it back together. Later over supper I related the story to my wife how the knife was so dirty and if she might have an idea why, cause by now its really bothering me where the dirt came from. She looked right at me and said I had been using it for gardening and digging small weeds up. As my eyes bulged and I sputtered food everywhere I said "I must have a couple of hundred old beaters you could have used why would you take a brand new $90 knife which was not even remotely designed for such use (Remember this was years ago and there was no internet) to dig in the garden with?" she simply replied that a knife is a knife and that one was convenient at the time. Needless to say this has never happened again but its always on my mind when I come home and see her puttering around doing things.

I do not have a wife because I am only 18, but for Christmas my mom got me a nice dress knife from Tiffany. That night, I seen her in the kitchen with a screwdriver MAULING my new knife. I asked her what the hell she was trying to do, and she said that there was a tiny bit of sticky stuff on the side and she was trying to get it off.

Needless to say, the soft silver scales were scratchted brutally, so my 8 month old knife looks like it had had 20 years of hard use.

Sheesh.

Yeh, but if she sews, she probably has a "special" pair of scissors that are tasked with only cutting cloth.

I had a similar situation and cured the problem by cutting up a large cardboard box with the "special" scissors and looked her dead in the eye when she turned purple and said "a pair of scissors, is a pair of scissors and they were convenient at the time"

Never had a problem again.

Naw she doesn't sew. She is partial to pottery though maybe if I started throwing vases into the......Anyway believe me there has never been another incident since.

BeowulftheGeat Your wife washed it?
I bet she has a diferent story.
I've had a few different knives washed and a wallet.
I should have emptied the pockets is the line I get. I hate it when she's right.
Thank goodness I usually carry factory knives.
I can imagine the awful feeling you got when you found out it was washed.
I'd feel like i was kicked in the gut by a mule.
 
LOL! Maybe she decided the folder didn't have a good enough washer.

BeowulftheGeat - that sounds strange to me... I mean washing should not have such an effect... maybe se didn't dry it up afterwards? And really what kind of material was the spacer? I really have hard time to understand how a knife can be destroyed by washing it. (Leaving it wet, yes

)
...or was that in the washing machine or dishwasher... then I can understand. (they can get very hot too, which might explain the spacer material not taking it very well...)

*chuckle* I can identify with the 'knifemares' stories above as my girlfriend (now my wife) used my new Klotzi Wimpff folder to pry open a tin lid which left some cute marks on the 440C. I can now laugh about it but sure it wasn't funny at the time. Wonder if ATS34 is any better at tin lid dent-resistance...
 
and now gentlemen...I feel compelled, in defense of my sisters everywhere, slaving over a household of who knows how many screaming children, and a full time job to help support your expensive habits...

You should have emptied your pockets...

LOL
