Leave it until tomorrow, then go out and buy a new one. You are guaranteed to find the old one within 24 hours. Never fails.

She might have borrowed it to score the skin on the
Sunday leg of pork joint.
Mine was in the habit of that so I bought her one of her own.
Now she just purloins a new blade now and then.

The subsequent certainty theory then comes into play - within the week they will both vanish.  I could lend you one of my collection if I knew where they were.

its bound to be wherever you left it ! ive got into the habit of putting knives / chisels etc away as soon as ive used them , our 4/5yr old great gandsons often come to visit , our bedroom is also my model building room , and they often wander in to look at our boats or the tamiya car there allowed to play with !

It's okay, I've found it!

I didn't have to ask but nor did I remember where it was.  What I remembered was the conversation that I had with myself when I last put it down. It went something like: "If you put it there, it'll drop into one of those grooves and you'll not be able to find it again!"

I should have listened to myself.

Anyway, it's found. Thanks for all the help in what has been a troubling period of my life.  :-))
