⚠️ 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 Gyuto is the Japanese chef's knife — a long, gently curved blade that rocks through herbs, slices protein cleanly and push-cuts through vegetables without wedging. The 200mm edge is the size most home cooks settle on once they've tried everything else.

The blade is 52100 carbon steel forge-welded between stainless cladding with double nickel shims — San Mai construction, etched to show the layers. 52100 is a bearing steel: it takes a screaming edge and holds it.

The handle is a Wa-style hidden tang in snakewood with a black buffalo horn ferrule. Snakewood is one of the densest, most figured timbers going — the pattern is in the name — and the horn ferrule keeps it classic.

A note on timber and horn
Snakewood and buffalo horn are natural materials. Figure and colour vary piece to piece, so yours will not be identical to the photos.

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

Made by hand. Made to last.

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.
