I am looking for a maker or a scrimshaw'er who does beautiful and tasteful "nudes" on knives like Sunfish and the sort.
 
There shoud be a number of fine artists recommended, but I will start this off with a lady whose nude scrims are some of the best. Little-known from the mountains of Colorado, Karen Reno does some mighty fine work. Nudes and all. Here's a page of her work from their 'Art of the Rockies' website.

Her husband is Wayne Reno, who also engraves and makes a wonderful knives--and restores old Ford Victoria's. These guys know ALL the good stuff!

Check on eBay. There are two currently up for bid. The work is very nice, not stunning, but nice and the prices are very reasonable. The work is done by a retired sailor by the name of "Howard." The wife runs the eBay show.
 
I'll second Coop's nomination of the Renos. They live just up the road from here,and tho I've yet to meet them in person, Wayne has asked me up to "look around" and talk knives. When you check out the scrim page, take a minute and look at Wayne's "for sale" page. Neat stuff, from a couple of bucks to "bring your Gold Card" !
