CM,

Maybe it wasn't a knife? Could it have been a nail file? No,maybe not.
Ladies in NYC carry switch blades. Nutsy's lovelies wouldn't get on his
boat without a knife. She probably was carrying a spike and shackle
wrench, also. Yeah. Sure. What's an even sail without a rigger kit? All
my guest carry them on MY boat :^) for a day sail. Don't they do it on
"Overproof?"
