Yellowfin Tuna Pin S011

Known by various nicknames like "Ahi" and "Yellowfin," the Yellowfin Tuna is a highly prized and powerful oceanic species. With its distinctive golden-yellow dorsal fin and finlets, this tuna stands out among its peers. It's closely related to other tunas like the Bluefin and Bigeye Tuna, sharing the same sleek, torpedo-shaped body built for speed. Yellowfin Tuna are renowned for their remarkable strength and agility, making them a favorite catch for sport fishermen and commercial fleets alike. They are often found in warm, tropical waters and can grow to impressive sizes, with some individuals exceeding 400 pounds. Their meat is prized for its quality and is commonly used in sushi and sashimi. These tuna are opportunistic feeders, preying on smaller fish like flying fish and squid. Their voracious appetite and sharp vision make them formidable predators in the oceanic food chain. Whether you're a big-game angler seeking an epic battle or a seafood connoisseur savoring the finest tuna, the Yellowfin Tuna holds a special place in both the world of sportfishing and culinary excellence.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

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.
