Washing and Drying Knives

She is fortunate that it didn’t come open during the wash and shred the clothes.

Not long ago a guy had a new small Buck Bugie s35vn blade that did just that. Not only did it shred the clothes but it ruined the washing machine. That little knife did a lot of damage and killed a washing machine!

Les that's no urban legend, you are right! I heard a similar story about damaged clothes from a knife opening (different blade).

Why is it so important to you that your wife carry a knife?

It's not important to me. I've never told or asked her to carry a knife - never had a conversation about it or even suggested it. I've simply given her 3 knives in 17 years - and one didn't even have a pocket clip. Hardly even gave them to her - a more accurate description was to show them to her, put them on a shelf and tell her they are there if she ever needs a knife. I'm just amused that she finally decided to start carrying one daily all on her own when she finally had one in her favorite color. I think we can all relate to stumbling across that one knife that just speaks to us, that we bond with almost instantly. It's just fun to watch that happen to my wife who has never had any interest in knives. It's fun to watch her smile and proudly reach for her purple Delica when boxes show up on the front porch. It's not important to me that she carries a knife, it's just fun to watch her get enjoyment out of something and to know that it was the color that made the difference and finally sparked her interest.

I’m usually pretty decent at checking my pockets but a few of my smaller SAKs have found their way into the washer before. Same with a few pens and a fair number of disposable cigarette lighters. Kind of a miracle my garage hasn’t caught fire from that

Greggy's Rule 12 for male survival: never arm or encourage weapon ownership with respect to a female lover. Just sayin... It has probably saved my life on more than one occasion. 😉

Treating 'em as equals makes the rule unnecessary. ;)

Ha. Pow.

The topic of life insurance is a whole other discussion. Dudes need to watch more crime TV.

Which would lead you to the conclusion that being poisoned or getting ambushed by a hired party is the more likely scenario...

Cook your own meals. Not much you can do if somebody gets the drop on you though.

Ms. WW carries a 9mm and a knife, I've made it nearly 18 years now without incident. I like to know those about me are prepared for the day.
 
I’ve washed my Tuff Lite about 4 times because it’s so small and light it’s easy to miss in a pocket. Thankfully never washed any other knives.

And believe it or not I even let my wife know how to get into the gun safes!! ;)
 
This thread has me thinking maybe I should put my Classic SD through the wash, to try and get the sand out from the time I forgot I had it with me at the beach.

Thankfully we recently moved into a spot with stackable side loaders. Should I send it through the dryer too, or just hang it over the door to air out?

Well that'll save you scuffs on the cellidor. 🤣

My rambler and my boy's classic sd have both been wadded up under the agitator.

I recommend low heat on anything not alox. Air dry if you're worried about shrinkage.
