Sunfish

[Don Hanson III]

Here's one I finished a few weeks ago. My wife, Tina scrimed it for a good friend of ours. I don't make many Sunfish pattern folders anymore and Tina rarely does any scrim, but he'd been wanting one for years.

Thanks for lookin!

What more could you want than a DHIII with two sunfish? Beautifully done! Hope that you have it in Little Rock for a closer view.

Well, Don, it's easy to see why the Sunfish is your signature stamp, even if you don't make them too often anymore. This is amazing. Great Damascus as always, and Tina's scrim is just beyond belief. Too much.

Sweet little folder; love the contrasting liners!! It's a pity that Tina doesn't scrim that much anymore because she is very talented.

Great to see another sunfish folder coming out of Sunfish Forge. And, really great seeing more of Tina's scrimshaw work. :thumbup: Super folder loaded with Hanson talents!

BEAUTIFUL Don! I recall some years back you made a few Sunfish that caught my eye.

I was wondering if you still made them. One in particular had amazing blue mammoth with dark fissures, and was engraved by Joe Mason if I recall.

Tina did a VERY nice job on the scrimshaw.

Thanks for the good words, folks! Much appreciated!

Peter, I believe that one had damascus bolsters and no engraving. I can not forget ivory like that.
Some of the earlier Sunfish got engraving after they left my hands.

Amazing! That full color Scrim is gorgeous! Thanks for posting it. The new owner will cherish it I'm sure.
