Swordfish Bill Scrimshaw
Category: Sports

I just got an offer for one of my Scrimshaw Swordfish Bill Letter Openers. I was asking $39.95. The offer was for $12.00! I understand that most people do not know how much work is in Scrimshaw. Well, I understand because this is an ancient art. Because I am old and have fished commercially for most of my life, I truly do understand that most people would never get to see the wonderful things I have gotten to see and the wonderful things I got to learn from the "Old Timers". I just wish that the old custom of mentorship were still in place. It's such an easy way to live. The elders pass onto the youngers the things they need to learn. Ther's no competition, and only kind feelings and gratitude. I'm curious to hear how my fellow bloggers feel about the concept of mentorship. thank you, Capt. Bob
