product features
⚠️ THIS IS A PRE-ORDER
4–6 week wait. Each knife is built to order, one at a time, by hand in Anna Bay, NSW. Your knife enters our queue the day you order.

In stock knives drop every Thursday 7pm and sell quickly, but a pre-order lets you lock in the build — we make them in small batches once a month.

The Ringer is a small field knife built as a genuine all-rounder. Lightweight, sharp, and easy to use — it is the knife that goes with you every time because it never gets in the way.

The blade is stainless San Mai damascus with a VG10 core: a hard cutting core forge-welded between layered stainless steel, etched to raise the pattern. The pattern runs all the way through the steel.

It comes with a custom-fit Kydex sheath and a carry clip, so it rides on a belt or in a pocket and is there the second you need it.

The handle stacks stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood against natural deer antler, split by TruStone and brass spacers. Native timber up front, antler at the back, and a bit of shine where they meet.

A note on timber
Tasmanian Blackwood is a natural material and supply isn't always guaranteed. If we don't have Blackwood on hand when your knife comes up in the queue, we may substitute Australian Ringed Gidgee. We only ever substitute a timber when the figure, grain, colour and performance are very similar or better quality.
A note on antler
Deer antler is a natural material. Every handle is its own shape, colour and texture, so yours will not be identical to the photos — that's the point.

sharpening & knife care

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.

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.
