No, we had the best cat in the world, but she died earlier this year, after 15 years.
At least because of covid we were at home and could be with her the whole time as she went. But I was (am) pretty cut up about it all.
Dylan before she got sick. She wasn't lookin so super her last month or so.
I realize that you were probably doing the setup for a joke, and this might have screwed up the punchline a little. Sorry about that.

Ragdolls are so nice.I lost a Black Cat once

Longhair siamese. But looks like a ragdoll until you see them in person and realize how much smaller than a ragdoll they are.
And that the round face is actually all fluff, and there's really a pointy siamese head under there.
Also a breed no one's ever heard of until you own one and google "wtf kinda cat is this anyway?"
Not rare, just not well known.
How a pure bred siamese ended up as a rescue cat is the big mystery!
My brain was getting dull just thinking about a knife pun so I’m gonna fold.
but I am considering this build challenge. I need to get back home and consider a re-build of old vs. buy new blank.
y’all have a merry Christmas

I lost mine too. I still had it recently. I got it in New Orleans in 1968. I was in the army, that’s how I remember. It was in my pocket for so many years that all the black paint was gone and the loop on the handle wore away so only the rivet was still there. I loved that knife, I can’t believe I misplaced it.

I lost my Great Lakes commercial fisherman’s gut knife. I can’t find a replacement on the net. I’m going to go to the fish dock and see if they have one they can sell me. I wonder if they are old and no longer made. They have about a four or five inch blade with a rounded tip, sharp from the handle through the tip. Pull the knife through the belly, flip it sideways and push it away using the rounded tip to sweep out the guts. They also make excellent filet knives so fast production is assured. They aren’t fancy, just a very sharp thin slab of non stainless steel with a wood handle. I could try and make a replacement from memory. The real thing with the size and balance would be nice to see before making one. Getting a real replacement would be better.

Oh yeah!
Now it's a legitimate build challenge!
No forge, but I wonder if a plumbers torch would let me do an edge temper? I'm pretty sure I can grind a knife shape out of something else. The trick is to not burn it up grinding though, right? I may jump in after watching some youtubes... Forged in Fire is a fav of mine too.

A lot of people temper with a torch.
Map gas is probably better than propane, but propane is doable.
You can also temper in the oven.
Also a lot of knives out there made from saw blades and whatnot with a grinder.
You've always been good at figuring out new things, so I have faith in your abilities.
