Not familiar with that one, but I never actually read Sherlock Holmes. I use the line above all the time when I’m looking for missing items (essentially “look everywhere it could possibly be, and then look everywhere else”). But given the similarity between Conan Doyle’s quote and mine, I must have heard his somewhere.
Funny thing is I had never even heard of a curry comb. But I’ve seen fish scalers like that since I was a kid (a very long time ago). But on further consideration, since Rob is vegan or vegetarian or whatever, he wouldn’t be going fishing, so in his case, it probably is a curry comb.
Or a fish scaler. They look the same. Only difference is a fish scaler and curry comb have multiple rings, and satchel’s only has one ring. Maybe his is broken.
Maybe he should try using a sled.
