What Customers Are Saying:
I've been using Iron Age Kill Switches for years now... I tried other brands over the years... and I kept going back and eventually ONLY use Iron Age Switches.
Between the options, reliability and great freakin service, I'm an Iron Age Addict for LIFE!
— Brian T.
My experience using the plectrum has been phenomenal. The craftsmanship in the product is absolutely amazing.
I love the comfortability & the ease of play that the pick provides. It’s the best pick that I have ever played with & I've been overjoyed with its quality.
I installed one of these buttons on a guitar previously, and from that experience alone I decided to order two more buttons to install on two other guitars I have. They add an awesome look, and they work really well.
— Matt W.
This is my 9th guitar pick from Iron Age and I have yet to be disappointed in the quality or really in any way with these guitar picks.
Simply the best... I am so glad to have yet another high quality plectrum that allows me to play without arthritis pain.
— Scott B.
This pick is a piece of art & looks amazing when you put it on a necklace.... But even more important is that its one of the most comfortable guitar picks I've used in my life, never knew a pick could do so much difference...
Also if you thinking of buying it but not sure because 3mm, I would still recommend buying it because it's so comfortable (up until now I only used 1mm).
My experience has been nothing but spectacular using these knobs. I absolutely love the feel and ease of installation.
These are the third set of knobs I have ordered and will swap all my guitar knobs to this brand.

Why Choose Handcrafted Guitar Picks
Alive in the hand.
Each Iron Age plectrum is shaped with care—balanced between precision and artistry—so it responds to nuance and deepens the connection between player and instrument.
Versatile by design
From acoustic to electric to bass, balanced profiles and dialed edge geometry move cleanly across genres and techniques without sacrificing tone.
Comfort through form
Sculpted thickness and hand-cut bevels reduce strain and improve control. Long sessions feel natural instead of fatiguing.
Grip with substance
Engravings, textures, and emblem patterns provide a confident hold—and a look that feels unmistakably your own.
Tonal range
Shapes, materials, and finishes unlock a spectrum—from smooth warmth to articulate brightness—tuned through testing and player feedback.
Responsive craftsmanship
Hand finishing introduces the subtle, musical variations machines alone can’t replicate. No two picks are identical; each is personal.
Visual presence
Refined materials and sculpted detail make these plectrums as striking to see as they are to play—functional art, not commodity plastic.
Iron Age handcrafted guitar picks are for players who value feel, intention, and design—proof that small details shape the whole performance.
How Our Plectrums Are Made: Forging Legendary Guitar Picks
Forged, not produced.
Each Iron Age pick starts as an idea drawn from myth, music, and purposeful design—then moves through a disciplined build.
Vision-First Design
Collections begin with a story. Symbols and virtues (courage, restraint, mastery) give each pick its own identity—and intent.
Precision Cutting
CNC and CO₂ laser work shape and engrave the blank with exacting accuracy. Tech sets the baseline; craft defines the feel.
Hand Finishing
Edges are shaped, sanded, and beveled by hand to tune glide and attack. This is judgment work—the part machines can’t do.
Purpose-Driven Quality
Every piece is inspected, refined, and balanced for tone, grip, and presence. If the mark is on it, intent went into it.
More than a tool.
Our plectrums are functional art—small artifacts meant to inspire action.
Guitar Pick Collections
Personalized Guitar Picks
Forge a pick that carries your own mark.
Whether you play acoustic or electric, we can engrave your logo, name, or design onto the plectrum of your choice — turning a simple tool into a personal emblem of your sound.
For those who want something truly unique, an optional UV‑reactive resin adds a subtle glow — a modern touch of alchemy that comes alive under stage lights or in the dark.
Create a gift worthy of a fellow musician, or craft a symbol that represents your own path.

About The Brand
Iron Age Guitar Accessories is a one‑man workshop — a forge where craftsmanship meets conviction.
Founded and run by a U.S. Marine veteran, Iron Age was born from the belief that creation is an act of courage — that taking initiative, shaping something meaningful from raw material, is how we give form to purpose.
Across every culture, the warrior‑archetype endures — not merely as a symbol of conflict, but as a reminder of will, clarity, and decisive action. The artist, too, wields that same spirit — yet channels it toward creation instead of conquest. Iron Age stands at that intersection: where intent meets expression, and where every crafted piece becomes a reflection of both strength and subtlety.
Each pick, knob, and switch is made as functional art — a small ritual of design meant to inspire presence, connection, and meaning in the hands of the player.
Iron Age is for those who act with purpose, create with intent, and understand that mastery — whether in craft or in sound — is forged through the courage to begin.
About The Founder: Alex
I’ve always been drawn to the process of shaping materials — turning raw elements into something that carries intent. My inspiration comes from myth, medieval craftsmanship, and the timeless symbols that echo across cultures.
My time in the U.S. Marine Corps as a 6332 Avionics Technician taught me more than how to work with complex systems — it taught me to think critically, act decisively, and take ownership of every outcome.
Wearing the same uniform as those who came before me gave me a sense of continuity — of stepping into something larger than myself. That feeling of archetype and belonging still drives my work today: each piece I craft is a small expression of that same lineage, a reminder that creation can be both personal and universal.
When I’m not shaping picks or designing new hardware, I’m usually playing guitar, exploring history, or studying the psychology of symbols — the stories that remind us that meaning isn’t found, it’s forged.
