Pro Tip & Foraging Knife Maintenance: The N°08 Walnut Mushroom Knife is a precision investment-grade instrument designed to provide a lifetime of field service. Because wild mushrooms thrive in damp environments, simple post-foraging care is essential to preserve the premium natural timber. Never submerge the knife in water or wash it in a dishwasher. Simply use a damp cloth to wipe sap and soil away from the stainless steel blade, then dry it completely with a towel immediately. To keep the natural bristles pristine, flick away loose dirt after use and wash them under a light trickle of warm water only if heavily muddied, letting them air dry naturally. An occasional thin coating of food-safe mineral oil rubbed onto the black walnut handle will deepen its luxurious grain, prevent ambient drying, and keep the Virobloc twist ring gliding like silk through decades of forest floor adventures!

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.
