Bring in a hurry to get a load of jeans in the laundry this evening, I didn't check the pockets closely enough - until I heard the rythmic thump-thump-thump in the dryer... and found my EDC Delica unhappily bumping around in there.



Being an FRN model, it didn't suffer much other than the indignity of the spin cycle <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> There's no pocket lint in that puppy NOW let me tell you. Took it hot out of the dryer and lubed it lol.



I guess I'm lucky it didn't get snagged and come open in the machine, I'd have a lot of sliced and diced jeans!

It happens quite oftenly that people forget the spydies in their pockets. Some claim even that this is the best way to clean them <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Yeah, I remember when our BM 812 went for a ride in the ol' Maytag W&amp;D, not long after I first got it! It hasn't never happened again so far. RKBA!

The agitator in the washer left my SAK ugly but still functional. Don't think my delica could get under it though.

Jerry, that exact thing happened to my SAK Tinker like two years ago! It got under the bottom edge of the agitator and it chewed up the scales.

I sanded tham back smooth with progressively finer paper, buffed them with steel wool, then polished them with some plastic polish, and you can hardly tell they were ever damaged.
