Totally stoked the blade fold looks amazing accurate to photos of purchase. My new favourite. Great size & weight, hoping to be quick enough for a deer antler handle next. Beautiful knives.

⚠️ THIS IS A PRE-ORDER
Current build time: around 4 weeks. 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.

Built for fishos who don't mess around.

The MAKO is our flagship fillet knife — named after the shark for a reason. It's fast, aggressive, and built to tear through fish with control. Stiffer than a traditional fillet knife but more precise than a boning knife, the MAKO sits in the sweet spot for anyone dealing with bigger, tougher species.

The blade is Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel — a proven performer in saltwater. Fine grain, excellent corrosion resistance, and it takes a razor edge that holds.

The handle is genuine abalone (pāua) shell, hand-shaped and buffed to a crystal-clear finish. Every handle is unique — the colour shifts and moves in the light.

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.

Built and finished by hand in Anna Bay. Built for saltwater, built to last.
