Marlin Small Magnet S002

The Marlin, often called the "Giant Marlin" or "Billfish," is an iconic and powerful ocean predator, celebrated for its size and majestic appearance. Marlin species include the Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, and Striped Marlin, each with its unique characteristics. These fish are also commonly known as "Sailfish" due to their distinct dorsal fin, reminiscent of a sail. With elongated bodies, sharp bills, and vibrant colors, Marlins are a sight to behold in the open sea. They are renowned for their incredible speed and agility, often leaping out of the water when hooked. Marlins are apex predators, feeding on smaller fish, squid, and other marine creatures, and are highly sought after by big-game fishermen for their impressive size and challenging fights. Marlins are known for their migratory habits, covering vast distances in the world's oceans. They are often associated with warm waters, and their presence can be an indicator of rich fishing grounds. Their thrilling catches and breathtaking beauty have made Marlins a symbol of sportfishing and a source of awe for those who venture into deep waters in pursuit of these magnificent creatures.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths vary by design. Smaller magnets pull 3–5 lbs — enough to hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. The heavier premium magnets use an even stronger 6–7 lb magnet, and slim designs use two smaller magnets where one won't fit. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they will never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
