Pre-Order — Stonewashed Hunter — Tassie Blackwood & Antler

Classic materials. Proven profile. No shortcuts.

Tasmanian Blackwood and deer antler is one of the most natural handle combinations in Australian knifemaking — and on our Hunter profile, it just works. Dense native timber paired with raw antler, separated by a white TruStone spacer that gives it a clean, defined break.

The blade is N690 stainless steel with a stonewash finish — our workhorse steel. It holds a working edge through a full day in the field, handles moisture without complaint, and sharpens up quick when you need it. The Hunter profile is designed for skinning, dressing, and all-round camp work.

Each knife is built one at a time in our Anna Bay workshop. Because every piece of timber and antler is unique, your knife will have its own grain, colour, and character — that's not a product variation, that's the whole point of handmade.

Because every handle uses natural materials — real timber, real antler, real shell — no two knives will ever be identical. That's not a flaw. That's the point.

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
