WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

What can I say about this amazing piece that it doesn't say for itself. Tough yet elegant, sharp as a razor, built for punishment and sits in the hand like it was made just for me.

An incredible knife. Beautiful and balanced. It's a beefy knife that can slice and break down an animal, heavy enough to chop through bone or wood. Very well made.

The perfect sized knife for EDC and all the jobs that entails. Extremely sharp, masterfully built and finished. The team at Iron Gate really know how to make a blade.

Fantastic blade. Perfect size for EDC and brings back memories of my dad's old hunting knife with deer antler handles.

This would have to be the best knife I have ever seen, let alone held. The amount of time spent on this you can tell. Thank you so much for the piece of art you made for me.

This mini hunter is super special, beautifully crafted. Handle just pops with the blade finish. A great small package that beats your standard pocket knife. Next level.
