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 !

Title: Re: Where's my Stanley knife???!!!!
Post by: rmaddock on July 20, 2013, 06:35:04 pm
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.  :-))

I have just found my long shafted phillips screwdriver on the bedroom floor where someone had borrowed it, its used for deeply recessed screws with small access holes, not just to take the guard off a fan to clean it.. hmmmph, plus put it back when you finish.

I appear to have an amazing and very magic tool/model box .. it seems whatever I put into it .. scalpel , paint brush,clamp . etc. I turn away , then come back to it .... It's gone !!
Rooting around never seems to find what I'm looking for;  I then have to make do with something else because the glue or paint is drying ..job gets finished and amazingly what I'm looking for turns up again !!!
 
maybe there is a troll or something living in the bottom of the box...... I saw them on Harry Potter once ..

funny you should ask that question.I have 5 of them! I can normally find one or two of them.I bought all but the first after "mis laying" them,and then soon after finding them.I now have another stanley type which folds and I can keep in my pocket,but not when I go out as it is now an offence to carry a blade.now where did I put that red one?....... Ooooh,there is my chuck key,it must have fallen out of the hole in my pocket where my stanley knife should be.....

Ray, can you look for my batteries while you're at it please?

I've got two lipo packs from planes somewhere, plus a large brushless motor that was going to go into a 1/6th scale SE5A.  I think I put them somewhere "safe"  >>:-(
