What we're building

From a small shed in Anna Bay to a crew you'd go bush with.

Iron Gate started with Izac making knives for mates. Word got around, more people wanted one, and three years later there's a team of six in a brand-new workshop building Australian-made knives that go to hunters, fishos and home cooks all over the country.

We do things the hard way on purpose. Every blade is ground by hand on a 2×72. Every handle is cut from Australian timber or natural material. Every knife gets engraved for free, because once it has a name on it, it's an heirloom with a story of who held it before you.

Where it's going: more knives, more products, a knife given away every month, and putting real money back into the local hunting and fishing clubs that raised us. We're not building a factory. We're building something worth being part of.

"There's something special about catching and cooking something yourself, then sharing it with a mate over a fire. That's the whole point." Izac · Founder

Life at the Gate

Six blokes. One shed. A lot of steel and a lot of laughs.

Mask on, grinder screaming, dust everywhere. Then Friday rolls around and we're at the pub, or on the range out the back, or loading the ute to head bush. This is what it actually looks like.

The perks

More family than workplace. That's not a slogan, it's the roster.

The Iron Gate crew on a hunting trip
01

Hunting & fishing trips

We make knives for the bush and the boat, so we go and use them. Deer, fishing comps, in-field content trips. You're on the ute, not watching the reel.

02

Pub lunch every week

Down tools, head to the pub, eat well, talk rubbish. Every week, on us. It's where half the good ideas come from.

03

Archery range at the workshop

There's a bow range on site. Lunch break, knock-off, or when a blade's cooling. Bring your bow or borrow one.

04

A bunch of good mates

Six of us who all make knives, shoot the bow, fish and hunt. We look out for each other. If something's on at home, the crew covers you.

05

Good pay, paid overtime

Skilled work gets paid like skilled work. Full-time in-house roles, and when the drop needs a push, overtime is paid, not "expected".

06

Room to grow

We've gone from a shed to a six-man workshop in three years and we're not slowing down. Junior to senior, maker to lead, there's a path here and we'll back you on it.

Three seats at the bench. Which one's yours?

We hire for culture first and skill second. If you're the right bloke for the crew, we'll teach you the rest. If you're already good, even better.

Knifemakers

You don't need to be a master bladesmith. You need some experience, good hands, and the want to get better every week. We're taking on junior and senior makers, so all skill levels can apply.

  • Stock removal, not forging. Nearly all of our work is done on 2×72 belt grinders. If you can run one, or you're hungry to learn, we want to talk.
  • Full time, in house. Real hours, real pay, and paid overtime when the drop needs a push.
  • Culture fit matters most. We're a team of six who all love knifemaking, the outdoors, shooting the bow, fishing and hunting. You'll fit right in or you won't. Be honest with yourself.
  • Grow into it. Junior makers get taught by seniors. Seniors get to lead.

  • Get out of the studio. Plenty of travel through the year for in-field and lifestyle content. Hunting trips, fishing comps, the bush and the boat.
  • Own the output. Reels, shorts, long-form YouTube, product photography for the weekly drop. You'll see your work go live every week.

Remote editor

We're looking for a video editor who can work fast on reels and cut content that fits the hunting and fishing world. If your edits feel like a Sunday on the water, not a corporate explainer, you're who we're after.

  • Fast on reels. Quick turnarounds, tight cuts, hooks that hold.
  • Knows the industry. You understand the pace, tone and audience of hunting and fishing content.
  • Remote, for real. Work from wherever you are. Send us your reel and we'll go from there.
