Anchored by a classic, ergonomically turned handle crafted from sustainably sourced French beechwood, this elegant peeler perfectly blends a century of iconic European craftsmanship with everyday culinary practicality.

**Pro Tip & Microserrated Peeler Maintenance:** To preserve the pristine edge of the microserrated blade and protect the beautiful natural grain of the beechwood handle, this peeler must always be washed by hand. Never place this wooden tool inside an automatic dishwasher or leave it soaking in a wet sink basin, as high heat, harsh detergents, and prolonged water exposure will swell the natural wood, degrade the handle finish, and dull the fine serrations. Simply rinse the blade under warm running water immediately after use with a soft sponge to remove residual vegetable starches, and wipe completely dry with a cloth towel before storage to ensure a lifetime of flawless performance!

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.
