Pro Tip & Finish Maintenance: The N°08 Limited Edition Black Oak model is a collector's favorite because its anodised finish offers incredible resistance against moisture and everyday corrosion. However, to keep this premium tool looking pristine, it requires more mindful care than a basic standard folder. The beautiful matte black surface can show fine micro-scratches if scrubbed aggressively; always avoid coarse scouring pads, steel wool, or abrasive cleaning detergents. To protect the natural grain of the oak wood handle and ensure a lifetime of smooth operation, never place this knife in a dishwasher or leave it soaking in a wet sink. Simply hand-wash with warm, soapy water after a meal, dry immediately with a microfiber towel, and add an occasional light drop of mineral oil to the folding pivot pin to keep the mechanical action buttery smooth!

Oversized Item Delivery Options

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.
