sharpening & knife care

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.
