First release. The Talon is brand new, and this is a small batch. Once these are gone they are gone.
The Talon is an everyday carry built around a wharncliffe-style point that hooks over like the claw it is named after. The edge runs straight and flat to a fine tip, so every cut lands exactly where you put it. It is the ultimate box opener and rope cutter.
The blade is Böhler Elmax, the finest steel in our lineup. It takes an incredible edge and stays razor sharp, so you are cutting rather than sawing long after a lesser steel has given up.
It works as a hunting knife too, and that semi-flat edge makes it genuinely useful for simple camp kitchen work — cutting up fruit, veggies and meat.
The handle is figured spalted maple, stabilised. The spalting draws fine dark lines through the timber, and no two blanks ever map the same way.

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.

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.
