Thought I'd start a thread.

My roommate just got off of a 46 day commercial swordfish Longline fishing trip out of San Francisco.  A local artist created this for him, out of 2 Broadbill bills he provided him with before departing port...

Very nice scrimshaw!

Here's a money clip/pocketknife/nail file my wife bought me in Boston a few years back.

Back soon.
