| Current Search - knife in The Old Man and the Sea |
1 I'll get another knife and have the spring ground.
2 Then he took up the oar with the knife lashed to it.
3 But there was no hatchet and then there was no knife.
4 Look to the lashing on the knife and see if it has been cut.
5 The old man wiped the blade of his knife and laid down the oar.
6 But the shark jerked backwards as he rolled and the knife blade snapped.
7 He hit only meat and the hide was set hard and he barely got the knife in.
8 The old man let him hit the fish and then drove the knife on the oar down into his brain.
9 "I don't think I can eat an entire one," he said and drew his knife across one of the strips.
10 "I wish I had a stone for the knife," the old man said after he had checked the lashing on the oar butt.
11 Then he put his knife down and gutted him with his right hand, scooping him clean and pulling the gills clear.
12 The stars were bright now and he saw the dolphin clearly and he pushed the blade of his knife into his head and drew him.
13 Back in the stern he turned so that his left hand held the strain of the line across his shoulders and drew his knife from its sheath with his right hand.
14 He turned then and placed the two flying fish inside the two fillets of fish and putting his knife back in its sheath, he worked his way slowly back to the bow.
15 In the darkness he loosened his sheath knife and taking all the strain of the fish on his left shoulder he leaned back and cut the line against the wood of the gunwale.
16 When he had cut six strips he spread them out on the wood of the bow, wiped his knife on his trousers, and lifted the carcass of the bonito by the tail and dropped it overboard.
17 The line showed clearly on the top of his brown head and back where the brain joined the spinal cord and the old man drove the knife on the oar into the juncture, withdrew it, and drove it in again into the shark's yellow cat-like eyes.
