Ideal For (Uses)

• Intricate Peeling & Paring: Functions as a highly effective, practical alternative to a traditional swivel peeler, making it exceptionally easy to core and peel apples for baking into a homemade pie, or zesting citrus fruits.

• Delicate Slicing & Chopping: Perfectly sized for dicing small aromatics like garlic cloves and shallots, slicing fresh mushrooms, topping and tailing green beans, or segmenting berries.

• Precision Garnishing: An excellent tool for creative chefs looking to carve decorative food displays, score pastry dough tops, or slice intricate garnishes for cocktails and grazing boards.

Pro Tip: Because the N°112 is built with a premium varnished hornbeam handle, it is highly resilient against daily kitchen moisture. However, to preserve the natural beauty and structural integrity of the timber, always hand-wash the knife with warm, soapy water after use and wipe it completely dry immediately—never place it in the dishwasher or leave it submerged in a wet sink. Keep the blade touch-up simple with a standard sharpening steel or stone, and it will remain a favourite kitchen companion for years to come!

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.
