Sailfish Small Magnet S004

The Sailfish, renowned as the "Grayhound of the Sea" and often affectionately called the "Billfish," is a majestic and powerful oceanic fish, belonging to a group that includes Marlin and Swordfish. This sleek predator is recognized for its striking appearance, featuring a long, pointed bill or rostrum, and a tall, sail-like dorsal fin. Sailfish are known for their incredible speed and agility, capable of reaching speeds up to 68 miles per hour (110 kilometers per hour). These magnificent creatures are widely distributed in warm waters, and they are a prized catch among sport fishermen. Sailfish are known for their acrobatic displays when hooked, leaping out of the water and showing off their vibrant colors. Their dorsal fin, which stretches high above the water, is their signature feature, resembling the sail of a ship, hence the name "Sailfish." Sailfish are voracious predators, often hunting in schools and preying on smaller fish, including Mackerel and Sardines. They are also known for their distinctive hunting technique, where they use their bills to slash at schools of prey, stunning them before consumption. Sailfish are not only a challenging catch but also a symbol of the thrill and beauty of deep-sea fishing, making them a beloved icon in the world of angling.

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.
