I just recently attached an Inova microlight to my yellow RSK...a combo I carry around the house when I'm knocking around in shorts or sweats.

The reason I attached it to the knife, is because I left it in a pocket and the light got washed and dried!

Straight out of the dryer and the light works perfectly! Part of the rubber grip got a little melted, but I thought that was pretty good for a light that only got 2 stars from flashlightreviews.com! Although I still can't figure out the point of the clip on that light...<img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Just thought I'd share.

I did that once with car keys, with the alarm fob attached. As I had no spare, I opened it up & let it dry. To my surprise, it worked! I now check pockets at LEAST twice, as well as do an inventory where I keep keys, wallets, pocketknife, etc, before doing laundry.

That's amazing! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
That light is not even described as water resistant, much less waterproof.

Like I said...got "Fair" reviews from flashlightreviews.com, and I put a lot of stock in those reviews...but as they say..."the proof is in the pudding".
