Saving A Huge Spider With 12 Inch Kitchen Knife

I spotted this huge UK spider hobbling around my kitchen floor. On close inspection he had a couple of legs mashed together, normally I may have gotten a plastic take away container and captured him and put him outside but he’d have been easy prey. So I took pity on him and decided to do some impromptu surgery, but with a twelve inch blade it could end in tears.
