Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Two knives
The knife used to finish the bull off before the bull is carried out of the plaza by the mules.
What I found interesting in the photo though is the torero that does the finishing off carries two knives on his wrist. I've never noticed this before.
