Post by: Prepper Rob on November 29, 2019, 02:02:43 PM: What Every Day Cary item have survived a trip through the washer and dryer ?

My six foot tape measure, pen light and a cigarette x USB port power supply.

I love my cargo pants pockets and I thought I went through all of them.

Post by: fritz_monroe on November 29, 2019, 06:12:46 PM: My Swiss Tech Utili-Key has been through the washer multiple times. It's also been through TSA checks at least 20 times and nobody ever noticed.

No......seems your washer turned them into funny pills. :rofl:

I'd say my old timer knife has been washed numerous times.

The knives just need a quick dry and oil but boy does one feel like a fool drying, refilling, and replacing the flint on a Zippo that got the laundry treatment.

Post by: FreeLancer on January 26, 2020, 01:58:57 PM: Traditional Swiss Army knives sail right through without a problem for me. I don’t know how some of the newer ones with the harder steels would do, but the old stainless steel stuff really is stainless.
