Pro Tip & Limited Edition Maintenance: The N°08 Mioshe Nature Knife is a rare, high-performance art piece engineered to withstand real-world carry. While the matte black PVD coating provides exceptional defense against moisture and corrosion, traditional knife care is essential to preserve the sublimated artwork on the hornbeam timber handle. Never submerge the knife in water or wash it in a dishwasher. Simply wipe the stainless steel blade clean after use with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly before closing. To keep the mechanical actions operating fluidly and protect the handle grain, avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive pocket items like loose keys. A tiny single drop of light mineral oil applied directly to the pivot pin will keep the Virobloc safety ring twisting like silk for generations!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
