The Notch is the knife you grab without thinking. Opening boxes, trimming cord, cutting bait, sorting the small jobs around camp. The recurved spine and wharncliffe-style tip give you real control in a compact package.
The blade is Böhler N690 with a stonewashed finish. Strong edge retention, low glare, and built to take everyday use without showing every mark.
The handle is full natural abalone, shimmering with deep ocean colour and shifting in the light. Every shell is different, so this one is yours alone.
Handmade knife with a custom-fit Kydex sheath
Free optional custom engraving
Backed for life
One of a small batch, and these never last long. Once it is gone, it is gone.
Keeping Your Edge
A quick strop before each use keeps your blade at its best. For a full sharpen, use a whetstone at the factory angle or send it back to us for free resharpening under the Iron Gate Lifetime Guarantee.
General Care
Wipe the blade dry after use. Apply mineral oil or handle wax to the handle every few months. Store in the included Kydex sheath.

From a small workshop on the NSW coast
Every Iron Gate knife is built in our workshop in Anna Bay, NSW the same town it's been for years. We're a small team. We make a small number of knives each week. We do it properly.
The handles are real materials deer antler, abalone shell, blackwood, paua. The sheaths are kydex, fitted to the blade. The lifetime backing is real too.
- Andrew Founder · Iron Gate Knives
Anna Bay is where the bush meets the ocean, and that balance defines how we work. Our knives are made by hand in a small coastal workshop, shaped slowly with patience and respect for the materials. Just honest tools built by those who hunt and fish.
