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.
— Chris B
Why Choose Handcrafted Guitar Picks
Each Iron Age plectrum is shaped with care — balanced between precision and artistry. The result is a pick that feels alive in the hand, responsive to every nuance of your playing, and made to enhance the connection between musician and instrument.
Versatile by Design
Equally at home on acoustic, electric, or bass, our handcrafted picks adapt to your instrument’s voice. Their balanced profiles and edge geometry let you move effortlessly between genres and techniques without sacrificing tone.
Comfort Through Form
Sculpted thickness and beveled edges reduce strain while improving control. Each contour is refined through touch and repetition, ensuring that long sessions feel natural rather than fatiguing.
Grip with Substance
Distinct engravings, surface textures, and emblematic patterns provide a confident hold. Beyond function, these details lend each pick a unique character — something that feels unmistakably your own.
Tonal Range
Different shapes, materials, and finishes unlock a spectrum of sound — from smooth warmth to articulate brightness. Every variation is tuned through testing and feedback, giving players the freedom to discover their preferred voice.
Responsive Craftsmanship
Hand finishing allows for subtle differences that machines alone can’t replicate. No two picks are completely identical; each carries the small variations that make handcrafted tools feel personal and expressive.
Visual Presence
With refined materials and sculpted detail, these picks are as striking to look at as they are to play. They stand as small pieces of functional art — a reflection of the player’s taste and the maker’s hand.
Iron Age plectrums are built for those who value the feel of craftsmanship and the resonance of design — players who understand that the smallest detail can shape the entire experience of music.
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.

How Our Plectrums Are Made: Forging Legendary Guitar Picks
Every Iron Age plectrum begins as an idea — a concept drawn from myth, music, and the pursuit of purposeful design.
Each piece is shaped through a process that blends modern precision with the spirit of the old world — where craftsmanship was both skill and ritual.
Visionary Design
Every collection starts with a story. Symbols from ancient cultures, warrior archetypes, and timeless virtues shape each design — giving every pick its own identity and intent.
Precision Crafting
Using advanced CNC machines and CO₂ lasers, we cut and engrave each blank with exacting accuracy. Technology provides consistency — a foundation for creativity, not a replacement for it.
Artisanal Finishing
From there, each pick is hand‑shaped, sanded, and beveled to bring out its tactile character. This is where the process slows, where the maker’s judgment and touch give form to feel.
Purpose‑Driven Quality
Before a pick leaves the bench, it’s inspected, refined, and balanced — not just for performance, but for presence. Each one should feel intentional, like a small artifact meant to inspire action.
Our plectrums aren’t made to be ordinary tools; they’re crafted as functional art — tokens of meaning for players who value both precision and story.
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
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.
