Iron Piece is a small cut fragment of iron. It is the finest grade of iron stock in blacksmithing.
Pieces go into small forged items and into the spikes on spiked weapons. The Forge Nails From Piece recipe turns one piece into two Nails. The Forge Key Ring recipe turns one into a Key Ring - Forged.
Pieces are sawn from Iron Chunk, Iron Bar Quarter and Iron Scrap, five at a time. They also turn up in sheds, warehouses and closets. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Forge Nails From Piece recipe takes one Iron Piece and one Charcoal. A smithing hammer, metalworking pliers or tongs, and a heading tool are needed and kept. It needs Blacksmithing level 1 at a Primitive Forge or better. The output is two Nails.
The Forge Key Ring recipe takes one piece and one Charcoal at a Primitive Forge or better. The result is a Key Ring - Forged.
Spiked weapons use pieces as their spikes. The Make Spiked Club recipe takes five metal pieces at Blacksmithing level 5. The Make Spiked Baseball Bat recipe takes ten at level 6. The Make Spiked Cudgel and Make Jawbone Morningstar recipes need level 7. The Forge Buckle and Forge Mace Head recipes also accept them at an Advanced Forge.
Pieces melt back down too. The Extract Iron from Smaller Items recipe turns five Iron Piece into one Iron Chunk at a Primitive Furnace or better.
How to Get Iron Piece
The Saw into Pieces recipe cuts one Iron Chunk, Iron Chunk (Pierced) or Iron Bar Quarter into five pieces. The Break Down Metal recipe cuts one Iron Scrap into five pieces. Both need a metal saw or small saw, which is kept. Bolt cutters also work for scrap. No station or skill is needed.

Sheds, studio and warehouse metal shelves, warehouse boxes and closet crates each hold some about one time in eight. Mechanic counters are about as good. Garage crates hold some a little less often. Storage rooms and storage units turn them up only rarely.

Notes
- Sawing pieces needs no forge, only a saw.
- A spiked weapon recipe eats many pieces, so a stack is worth keeping.
- Steel Piece works in the same recipes as iron.
