Of all the superstitions held by the crew of Dunure fishing boat The Silver Darling, the most perilous of all is that under no circumstances should a white-handled knife ever be carried on board. Ignoring this long tradition, Danny the latest to help out the family business, steps onto the boat with a mop top, oil-skinned jacket and an ivory-handled knife.
