I got the butter knife out!

I knew some of you were hanging on the edge of your seats and would like an update

Way to go Chris!
So what was the new technique to retrieve the scoundrel?

 

[GPhiAce]

He glued a magnet to the tang.

I'll just say it involved a ladder, awkward positioning of a 41 year old body, a few select colorful words and a very large pair of hemostats followed by a quasi religious experience

 

[seased]

glad you got it out! I wonder why Paul's technique did not work....

 

[fishdoc11]

The tang wouldn't cooperate and then there's that little thing about magnets not working on stainless

The tang's exact words were "I'm too old for this (insert explicative here)"

 

[EvilMel]

YES!!!! That's awesome.

How did you locate it??? I couldn't even see the darn thing...

 

[fishdoc11]

I had to pull the top out and look down from the top in the back with a ladder
