It is a must-have piece for those who demand high-end design in their everyday carry.

Best For Design-conscious collectors, urban explorers, and individuals who appreciate a minimalist yet edgy aesthetic. This knife is designed for those who want their tools to reflect a modern, refined sensibility without sacrificing the legendary Opinel reliability.

Key Features

• Artistic Vision: Created in collaboration with Benjamin Jeanjean, this version features a unique aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of traditional knife design, making it a true collector’s item.

• Sophisticated Finish: The blade and Virobloc® safety ring are finished with a black matt treatment, which not only provides a stunning aesthetic but also offers improved corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel.

• Premium Materials: Crafted with an 8.5 cm high-performance blade and a handle made from PEFC-certified hornbeam sourced from eco-managed forests, this knife perfectly balances sustainability with premium quality.

• Virobloc® Security: Features the signature Virobloc® locking system, also finished in black to match the blade, allowing for safe and secure locking in both open and closed positions.

Retail Pro Tip: Given the black matt treatment, it is vital to educate your customers on proper care. Include a small, prominent note at the point of sale: 'Scratch-sensitive surface; avoid abrasive sponges when cleaning.' This transparency builds trust and helps your customers maintain the pristine condition of their limited-edition item for years to come. Positioning this next to other 'blackout' or tactical-style gear can also help drive sales to the right demographic.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

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.
