That Pearl is sweeet!!!
Much appreciated Gents !!!! Thank you
We didn't have a scale onboard and cleaned the fish before landing, so I didn't weigh them, but I'd say 25-30 lbs, Alan.
@5K Qs That's a quintessential quartet, GT.
@Half/Stop and @SteveC You boys are bringing out some heavy stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Gevonovich Your posting spooked me, as I found an old MOP clad knife in the bottom of an "empty" box this morning after I saw your post. I had to take a quick pic between intermittent showers, no time to dust off the rust before getting ready for Mother's Day brunch. A shadow senator with sunken joints by Holley Manufacturing Co., Lakeville, Conn. from the 1854-1930s period.

Wow...what a sweet sweet find
A Holley in pearl in such nice condition !. I think this qualifies as a Celestine moment. See the beauty and look for the coincidence ( one of the insights )

Took this shot and my 7 year-old asked me to take a picture of his knife. I turn around and he’s tearing off into the house and leaving a bloody pocket knife behind. A couple of hours and five stitches later:
It was a deep cut but not to the tendons, thank God. I had just passed his knife across my honing rod a few minutes earlier. Good thing because it was a very clean cut and bled very little, surprisingly.

Yeeouch! At least “chics dig scars”.... except for mamma. Mammas don’t like scars.

Yeah it was a weird spot. I guess he was holding the knife in his left hand (his dominant hand) in a reverse hammer grip and just let the blade down. It was a Boker tech tool single blade so not the strongest spring. If it had been a bullnose, we might be in the ER right now!

he said he didn’t want any more pocket knives, but then followed that up with “I just want swords” so I think we’ll be ok eventually.

If there's a bright side to this, he'll have a cool scar that the girls will like, and he will now know to be aware always where his edge is. We've all been there. Welcome to the brotherhood.

This Green Banana bone 35 is getting to be one of my favorites. Paired this morning with my Filarmonica straight, which I used to slick up my face for church.

Sorry he (and you) had to go through that, but we have ALL done it. It happens. Hopefully didn't scar Mom too much.
I never learned a lesson unless it was the "hard way".

Thanks, Gary. Your QQ is looking good, as usual.
You too my friend ! I had to get out my Norfolk
A Voyeur was watching the photography session making noises of approval

That is a beautiful knife, Gev.
You know a knife is good when wildlife overcome their natural fear to take a look!

That is quite a cut for a boy. You didn't mention if you had heart palpations when you saw it.

Love this!! I think my 7-year old self would’ve said the same thing. My mom, on the other hand, would have said otherwise!!
