⚠️ THIS IS A PRE-ORDER
6–8 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.
6–8 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 Kiritsuke is the chef's statement blade — a Japanese hybrid that slices, push-cuts and handles fine prep with equal ease. Long, lean and precise, it's the knife that rewards a confident hand and takes pride of place on the board.
The blade is Böhler N690 with a stonewashed finish, our workhorse steel. It holds a keen edge through a full day of prep and sharpens up quick.
The handle pairs stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood with a TruStone spacer and natural deer antler. Warm dark timber against raw antler with a clean break of colour through the middle. No two are ever the same.

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.

You Want Sharp??
This is the sharpest knife I own and I have some really good Aussie made knives! For such a small EDC type it cuts through things like it’s made of laser beam (light saber). The deer antler is beautiful and I want more. Perhaps if I get the chance a mammoth tooth and dark wood or deer antler one. As well as a hunter, bush craft and kitchen knife.

Impressed!
Hand made knives have been around thousands of years, and there have always been masters of the craft. Iron Gate has just stepped it up a notch. Combining elegance and beauty, with ruggedness and practicality, this is a knife I’ll be proud to hand down through the generations after I’ve used and abused it a little. It feels nice in the hand, looks incredible on the bench, and cuts like a razor fresh off the strop.
Thanks guys for my new blade. I own a lot of knives, but this just became a new favourite.

Awesome knife
