Well noted, sometimes the hunters become the hunted, case in point, the 'lions of Tsavo'.

Confirmation from the New Bedford Whaling Museum,
this is NOT a whaling knife, but a 'round knife' for working leather, just as Richard noted.

I am also offended by the continued murder of whales, "ABOLISH THE WINDMILLS!"

The noise generated by wind turbines has been attributed by some as the cause for whales beaching themselves. On a more serious note these "wind mills," produce infrasonic sound waves that have been proven to be detrimental to humans and weaponized by various countries.
One step forward, two steps back.

Nice video of one of these knives in action for those who have never seen one.
