The Ironclad black sharpening steel is crafted from high-quality German steel. That’s the good stuff.
The surface of the steel is a ‘No. 3 Cut’. For those less familiar with the language, this is a general-purpose sharpening texture, or “etch”. A No. 3 Cut is coarse enough to tackle even the dullest blade in your kitchen.
Ironclad chose black steel for three critical reasons:
- Black steel holds its etch longer than traditional chrome-plated steel, so you’ll notice less drag when sharpening.
- Black steel won’t rust.
- Black is a colour commonly associated with Ninjas, so it makes sense that black steel would be the go-to sharpening steel for Ninjas. And everyone knows that Ninjas are blade experts.
The handle is made with Shear Edge™, a tight matrix of highly engineered wool fibres that makes up 70% of the volume, producing handles that are lighter, stronger and more sustainable than traditional plastic. Designed for left and right-handers, it fits all hand sizes. The undyed, natural fibres mean that each handle has its unique cream colour with variations in tone too.

The Ironclad Pan Company was founded in 2016 by Kate Slavin, Levi Slavin and Joe Carter. All three were working in design, branding and communications, and all three were looking to create a sustainable product that would be a return to beautiful craft and traditional techniques. In an era of disposable products, the team wanted to create a meaningful object that people only had to buy once. Something precious, that could be handed down for generations.
